According to Rob Handfield-Jones of the AA you should make sure you have the following in your car at all times:
• A notepad and pen: if you’re involved in an accident you will need to take down the other person’s details. Also, for insurance purposes it's very useful to take notes and make a sketch of the accident. Doing this on a grotty pizza box rather lessens the effect.
• Tyre inflator can: this useful little gizmo is a short term solution if you get a puncture and you're unable (shame on you!) to change the tire.
• Functioning jack and wheel spanner: check for this especially if you hire or borrow a car.
• Tow rope: you'd be surprised how handy this can be.
• First aid kit: especially if you drive a family car. Make sure you have bandages, salves, water etc.
