Our group responses are:
Empty the contents of your glove box on the seat next to you
Use an expanding envelope & place in the following categories: Insurance, Registration, Service, Tires, Coupons & Maps
Keep: Proof of Insurance, Vehicle Registration, Inspection Reports, Maintenance Receipts, Mileage Log, Vehicle Coupons, And Emergency Phone Numbers & Relevant Maps.
Upon completion place your organized expanding folder in your glove box.
I got stuff from the dollar store to organize the stuff in my car. I utilized every storage area. Now the car is clean!. I love it!!
Our group responses are: Important Phone Numbers: The contact information for your roadside assistance service should be kept somewhere easily accessible in case of emergency. If your car breaks down, you don’t want to waste time looking for the number.
Emergency Medical Information: Emergency contact people; Medical Phone Numbers; your diagnosis; medications you take, etc.
Cell phone Car Charger: Keeping your charger in your glove compartment can make it easier for you to remember to plug your phone in to charge while you’re driving. (To make those phone calls and send those texts until you’re safely parked!)
Umbrella: Keep a pocket-sized one in the glove box for easy access.
Small First Aid Kit: First aid kits usually come with a variety of adhesive bandages, pain relievers, antiseptics and other items you may need in a pinch, and they’re always a good idea to have on hand.
Window-Breaker: Breaking your own car windows probably isn’t something you plan on doing. But, if you have an accident and somehow drive into a body of water, having a tool handy may allow you to break the glass and escape to safety.
Gloves… to keep your hands from freezing while you’re scraping those icy windows — your gloves may also come in handy to protect your hands from shattering glass if you have to use the window-breaker in the above scenario.
Keep in a long narrow expanding folder the following:
1. Insurance Card
2. Inspection Reports
3. Vehicle Registration
4. Purchasing Receipts
5. Oil Change Receipts
6. Tire Maintenance
7. License & tag Information
8. Car mileage log
9. Relevant maps
10. Current street directories
I never thought there would be a sunny side to having a small prang in my car last week, but just before it went to the brum brum hospital (AKA garage) I had to remove all my personal things from the car, including the glove box and boot – so car is all cleared out!
I can do this one! I just need to get out there before the heat of the day. I really need to do the whole car, but that will take over an hour.
