EVAQ8 Car Emergency & Breakdown Safety Kit with Fire Extinguisher – Roadside Car Safety Kit with First Aid, Warning Triangle, Hi Vis Vest, Torch & Carry Bag

I’m happy with this car safety kit. It sits neatly in my car boot storage space. The kit is as advertised, I practically like the windup torch, works a treat. There is a small first aid kit, but you may want to add a few extras.

All you need

Very good

Contains most of what you need for driving in Europe. Because we were driving through Poland we needed a fire extinguisher, which is included in this bag. For our trip, we just needed to add a second hi-viz jacket, headlamp beam adapters, and French NF Certified Breathalyzers, and we were ready to go! BE CAREFUL - there is no standard set of requirements for driving in Europe, so you need to check the requirements of EVERY COUNTRY YOU PLAN TO DRIVE THROUGH.

The bag was 45 x 19 x 10 cm. The triangle storage box was 43.0 x 4.5 x 2.8 cm. I got this EVAQ8 Advanced Car Safety Kit BSi FA car safety kit because I wanted a warning triangle and when I started searching Amazon I found kits with other equipment which would be prudent to have such as fire extinguisher, fuses, gloves, high-visibility vest, jump leads, medical kit, space blanket, torch and tow rope. I chose the EVAQ8 Advanced Car Safety Kit BSi FA rather than the EVAQ8 Advanced Car Safety Kit HSE FA because (from firstaid.co.uk) "With no updates since the 1980s, it became clear that a new standard for workplace first aid kits needed to be implemented. The British Standard (BS8599-1 standard for workplace first aid kits) are revised and improved recommendations for modern risks and hazards". So BSi should be the better choice. Presumably HSE is still supplied because it is the legal requirement. I thought it would be useful to have a bag for all those items but was not because several of them need to be near the driver in case of being trapped in the seat. Then having the seat belt cutter in a nice bag in the boot would not be useful! Similarly for the emergency blankets and torch. The fire extinguisher is also best nearby and visible, not hidden in a bag where it likely to be forgotten in fire-induced panic. Regards the quality of the kit, none of it is great but you get a lot of "good enough" items for the money.

Good quality. Fire extinguisher expired date is 5 years from date I received order. Not big kit but enough to make you feel secure

Bought for my Daughter, has everything I hope she will never need.

Good price
