Prepare for
Winter Car
Sensible equipment for cold-weather vehicle delays or breakdowns.
PRACTICAL PREPARATION FIRST
Winter car: before you set off
The best roadside emergency kit starts with a safe, properly planned journey.
Your first checks
- Check tyres, vehicle condition, fuel or charge, route and current weather warnings.
- Keep a torch, warm layers, suitable footwear and a charged phone or power bank.
- Carry drinking water and practical food for a delay, with allowances for passengers.
- Tell someone your destination when travelling in remote or severe conditions.
ONE PERSONALISED QUESTIONNAIRE
Make your own plan for this scenario.
Count the equipment you already own, get household and personal kit checklists, and prioritise the gaps. No purchase is required.
