Owning a car is important, but without the right accessories, you won’t be able to utilize your car in the best way possible!
When you are buying a new car, your car dealer will give you the option of buying or customizing basic accessories at the time of purchase, such as seat covers.
However, there are many more accessories, such as the essential blind spot monitor, that you need in your car.
Top 4 accessories to add to your car
Emergency kit
Whether you have received it complimentary with your new car purchase or not, an emergency kit is a must in your car. An emergency kit will contain both a first aid kit and a car emergency kit.
The first aid kit will have the basic accessories, such as a pair of disposable sterile gloves, plasters, crêpe bandages, gauze, antiseptic wipes, and more. You can also have a small supply of basic drugstore medicines. Although a first aid kit is primarily for use by you and your passengers, but it can be helpful if you are in a situation where you witness an accident on the road and need to help injured passengers of that vehicle.
The car emergency kit will have flashlights, jumper cables, a tire inflator, an extra tire, a jack, and more.
Phone mount
No matter where your destination is, Google Maps or Apple Maps will guide you there! However, you need to be safe on the road while you drive, even if you want to use these apps.
A phone mount will help you fix your phone on the mount where it is easily accessible. You can also opt for voice commands on either app to have a full hands-free drive. In case you really need to use your phone for something, say, making an emergency call, you can operate your phone with a single hand while controlling the steering wheel with the other hand.
Blind spot monitor
Blind spots are one of the major causes of road accidents. They are the areas around your car that are not visible to you as you drive.
A blind spot monitor has sensors that detect movement of vehicles and obstacles around your car. It gives you visibility of your surroundings, including blind spots. This helps in making informed decisions as you change lanes on the highway, preventing accidents.
Blind spot detection systems are the best way to stay safe on the road.
