First aid kits, fire extinguishers, vests, triangles – maximize your vehicle safety

Your safety on the road depends not only on vehicle reliability, but also on proper equipment. First aid kits, car fire extinguishers, high visibility vests, and warning triangles are essential items for every car, lorry, bus or special purpose vehicle.

Why should you carry a first aid kit, fire extinguisher, vest and warning triangle?

These basic accessories protect all road users. They allow you to respond to accidents, administer first aid, secure the scene, and react swiftly in emergencies. A car first aid kit enables you to dress wounds and provide life-saving help before professionals arrive. A car fire extinguisher helps put out minor fires quickly. High-visibility vest makes the driver seen after leaving the vehicle, especially at night or in bad weather. A warning triangle marks the emergency stop or accident site.
