REGENCY CHRYSLER JEEP 1177 Marine Drive, North Vancouver 980-8501 BEING OUT on the road is a tricky business some- times, even if it’s just an in-town jaunt. Since breakdowns and accidents happen at any hour of the day or night, you need to keep certain safety items handy. The easiest way is to have a personalized safety kit. You can buy complete kits, but you can save wear and tear on your wallet just by using items you find around the house or at your Jocal hardware store of auto Parts oudlet. Your personalized safety kit Fancy safety kits are fine, but you can use an old metal or plastic lunch pail or you can buy a plastic box at the hardware sture. Even a well-made cardboard box will do the job. Ht doesn’t need to be very large. Just be sure to place the box ina comer of the trunk where jt won't take up too much space or rattle around once you're under way. The obvious starting place is investing in a pair of high-quality copper jumper cables. A less-obvious item is baling wire. A couple of feet of this sturdy wire is enough to temporarily hold a muf- fler in place, or even keep the buniper attached to your car after an accident. Also, if you've got a larger than usual item you're transporting in your trunk, you can use the baling wire to keep the trunk closed and keep everything secure. A first-aid kiCis a must. Bandages, adhesive patches and astringents for cleansing are all musts for the safety conscious car-owner. You can buy a very complete first-aid kit at most any drug store. A blanket is also an important safety item. This is great in case you get stranded in your car. Blankets also come in handy in case of an injury accident — it's always important to keep the victim as warm as possi- ble. They can also be used as an aid in smothering small fires. Duct tape is useful in a variety of situations. It sticks to everything. providing the surface is relatively clean. Electrical tape can not only be used to repair worn or frayed wires, but can also be used to fix split or cracked hoses under the car’s hood, at least temporarily. You may want to include a gas siphon in your kit. It’s always dangerous to siphon gas from a vehicle to a container, but sometimes it is necessary if you’re in a terrible jam out in the middle of nowhere. Hand cleaner in a safety kit? Yes. You’ll be happy you included it after you finish that repair job. There are any number of waterless hand cleaners on the mar- ket, usually stored in a tube. If you don’t have hand cleaner, you can use some of the fluid from your windshield washer storage tank to rinse off your hands. Wakohetd SAFETY EQUIPMENT like jumper cables and a first aid kit are important, as fs checking sup- plies. Wetmore Motors’ Wolf Schmaler checks the pressure of this tire A pair of locking pliers, a screwdriver with reversible Phillips and slotted heads and a small adjustable wrench are all necessities in this safety kit. If these basic tools don’t get the job done, your situ- ation is probably beyond hope anyway. Safety flares are the next item on your shopping list.
