1. Dehumidifiers
We’ve all been there. Waiting for the windscreen to de-mist in a morning, making us late for work! But with our portable, compact dehumidifier, you can prevent condensation and reuse an unlimited amount of times! Just pop it into the microwave for no more than 6 minutes to recharge. It’s as simple as that!
2. Ice Scrapers
This is of course a must-have for any driver, and makes a great addition to a new-driver gift pack! Whether it’[s our 3 in 1 super squeegee and ice scrape, our luxury premium ice scraper, or even our ice scraper with glove to keep those hands warm on frosty mornings, they are an essential in any motoring range.
3. Universal Bulb Kit
This handy little kit is often one of those forgotten items that you wouldn’t consider until the time comes, and then it’s a huge inconvenience searching around for just what you need! Our Universal Bulb Kit helps avoid motoring offences with a range of 10 quality bulbs, all safe for us on public roads, so you can easily install and stay safe.
4. Tow Ropes
An item that hopefully doesn’t see a huge amount of use, but one that is incredibly handy and you’ll be so glad you have, should an event call for it. Our elasticated tow rope is 4m long, extra strong and easy to fit, making towing easy and safe.
5. Jump Leads and Powerbanks
Very common in winter months, particularly with older motors, cars needs a helping hand to get them going! We have a great range of jump leads, booster cables and powerbanks to get your car back on the road. Available for motorists, and professionals, they’re all highly durable and corrosion resistant and come in a handy storage bag.
6. Warning Triangle
If your car breaks down, or you have to stop on a quiet, dark or winding road in an emergency, a warning triangle is an absolute essential. Placed at least 45m down the road to give oncoming vehicles a warning of your presence, they are easy to unfold and set up.
7. Air Compressors and Tyre Pumps
This remarkable compressor is super compact, taking up very little storage space and gets to work in no time! Inflating up to a maximum pressure of 300PSI, it’s easy to use and comes with 3 adapters, so it can be used for a wide variety of purposes; not just your tyres!
8. Safety Jackets
Driving in winter often means tricky conditions, and usually driving in the dark. If you have to stop, and exit the vehicle for any reason, our safety jackets provide an added layer of visibility to other drivers around you. We have high vis safety jackets available in adult and child sizes, so you can stock up on enough for every passenger and store them safely in the boot of the car.
9. USB Sockets
Many new cars these days are often fitted with at least one USB socket as standard because, thankfully, the motoring industry realise the importance and desire for them in our cars. However, for drivers of any other vehicles, it can be rather inconvenient not to have a place to charge or connect their phones. Our Super charge USB socket enables you to charge 2 devices at once, making it handy for long journeys, and in the event of getting stuck in traffic or breaking down during the winter months.
10. Phone Leads
It’s safe to say that having multiple phone leads is an essential these days. We often need one at home, one at work and one in the car. Our range of phone leads are fast charging and great value so you can purchase multiple leads with minimal investment. Be sure to check out our sustainable leads too, made from recycled plastic bottles!
So there you have it! Our top 10 items all drivers must have to hand for safe, comfortable and simple (stress-free!) driving during winter.
