Ring RCT2 emergency travel kit – essential supplies to keep you moving
If you’d rather not end up on the hard shoulder when the weather’s grim, this kit is a proper lifesaver. It’s a compact, neatly organised set of essentials to tackle the most common roadside annoyances — from flat batteries and blown bulbs to a quick bit of first aid. Everything stows away in a sturdy carry case, so no faffing about rooting through the boot.
what’s included
- E-approved emergency warning triangle — stands firm on uneven surfaces and makes you a lot more visible to other road users.
- High-visibility jacket — slips on over your clothes, lightweight and bright, so you’re seen in poor light.
- Universal bulb kit — common headlamp, indicator and tail bulbs plus a selection of fuses, handy when a blown light could cut your journey short.
- Rubber LED torch with long-life LED technology, plus a pair of cotton gloves for better grip and to keep your hands clean.
- Set of jump leads — plated steel crocodile clips with insulated handles; comes with clear step-by-step instructions for safer use.
- Compact first aid kit — scissors, conforming bandage, antiseptic prep pads, sterile gauze, plasters and tape for minor roadside mishaps.
- Thermal foil blanket — helps retain body heat if you’re waiting out a long stop in the cold.
why this kit helps
Think of this as one reliable bag with the basics, rather than a jumble of bits scattered around the car. Flat battery? The jump leads will usually get small cars going again — if the battery’s entirely knackered you’ll need a replacement, of course. Blown bulb before a night run? The bulb kit sorts that in minutes. And on a cold night the foil blanket really is comforting — proper peace of mind when you’re stuck roadside in winter.
practical notes and typical uses
- If you’re not used to jump-starting, follow the supplied instructions and check your vehicle handbook — it’s worth assessing the battery first.
- Use the warning triangle and high-vis jacket for any stops on busy roads — get them out early and stay visible.
- Perfect for family cars, commuters and anyone who does longer runs or travels in rural areas where help might take a while to arrive.
