What should each driver carry with him? In addition to the documents provided for by law, this is also a number of useful and necessary things that will help out in a difficult situation.
What should the driver carry with him? Probably, every motorist knows the answer to this question. First, you need to figure out what the driver should carry with him according to Russian law, well, and then - what you need to have with you in order not to get into a difficult situation.
Documents required by the driver
Russian legislation provides that the driver of a vehicle must always keep a certain list of documents with him. To begin with, this is a driver's license of the corresponding category, which gives the right to drive a car, and in its absence - a temporary permit.
You must have registration documents for the vehicle with you, and if you have a trailer, then the documents for it. Well, the last obligatory document is the policy of compulsory motor third party liability insurance (OSAGO).
What you need to carry with you
With the documents sorted out, but what else should each driver carry with him? If we proceed from the rules of the road, then the required minimum is a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher, and an emergency stop sign. But if you are guided not only by legislation, but also by common sense, then this list looks much wider.
A towing cable should be in every car. Well, what it is used for, every driver knows. The most common problems with the car on the road are related to the tires, so a hand pump or an electric compressor will not interfere with inflating them.
The jack is one of the most important items that every trunk should have. Indeed, without it, it will be simply impossible to replace a punctured wheel. Well, and it is worth replenishing it with several small planks that can be placed under the jack if the soil is soft. Well, it is logical to always carry a spare wheel with you, otherwise the jack and other tools will be useless.
The car must have a minimum set of tools, including a balloon, a pair of screwdrivers, pliers, a set of keys. Well, such "little things" as a spare alternator belt, spare fuses, a set of spark plugs, a small flashlight, a phone charger, etc. can help out on the road.
Having all this with you, you can not only avoid problems with the law, but also not face unforeseen situations that may arise on the road.
