Formality or need
Many people do not consider a car aid kit. However, it is worthwing to know that in Russia, moving on almost any vehicle is prohibited without it by law. Exceptions: motorcycle without side trailer, bike and scooter. The absence of either the first tortock itself, or some of its mandatory components entails a fine of 500 rubles.
Does joke?
The list of first-aid funds has changed several times over the past decades. Therefore, this topic even became a reason for numerous jokes among motorists, because, if you wish, everyone could find violations, and even if the list was assembled, the expiration date quickly expired. Today the situation has changed - only funds remained on the mandatory list to stop bleeding and cardiovary resuscitation. Why? Everything is simple: experience has shown that in emergency situations drivers are in a state of shock and are rarely able to provide any help - in any case, the correct one. Therefore, only those funds that are needed when there is no time to wait for doctors.
Funds that must be included in the car aid kit are regulated by GOST

Health is more expensive
And now about optional. In fact, anything can happen on the road, so in this case it is better to "get out", and not limited to a legislative miner. Especially if children or mature relatives often drive with you in the car.

So, will not be superfluous:
- any painkillers (as often in your traffic jam began to hurt or, God forbid, tooth) - better not only for adults, but also children's;
- any antipyretic means (especially in the offseason, when the cold is a common phenomenon);
- hydrogen peroxide (indispensable means for processing wounds);
- means for processing burns (relevant in summer);
- antihistamine agent - choose that, after which it is allowed to get driving (in case of an unexpected allergic reaction);
- activated coal or any other means for poisoning and / or heartburn (so that the picnic does not spoil the road back);
- preparations for "cores" and from pressure (do not forget about parents);
- personal hygiene tools;
- a hypothermal cooling package (from bruises);
- Eye drops for moisturizing the cornea (help, if something falls into the eye, and you need to go);
- Of course, in chronic diseases, be sure to take it into the autoapplerette the necessary for you for the drug.
It is important to remember the terms of the suitability of all drugs and periodically check them. Well, in the cabin it is better to always have a bottle of drinking water. Have a good trip!
