BACKGROUND:

According to the Travel Industry Association, 275 million motorists will hit the road this summer. AAA reports 7.4 million motorists will experience a vehicle breakdown this summer, and of those -- 1.3 million will need a battery boost and 900,000 will have a flat tire.

As Americans head off on a family vacation or just a day trip to the beach, experts recommend that drivers are prepare for any type of road side emergency. Items like bottled water, a tire inflator such as Fix-A-Flat, tire pressure gauge, jumper cables, road flares, safety matches, flashlight and extra batteries, tools, pocketknife, safety vest fire extinguisher (16 oz.), pen and paper, "Help" sign or auto distress flag and a travel first aid kit

After creating a car care kit and before actually using the kit in an emergency situation, drivers should take some time to familiarize themselves with the items and learn how to use them properly.
