It's in me boot

[da SLUG man]

i have about 3 hi-viz vests and coats, a pair of safety boots, some old newspapers and mcdonalds wrappers to build a bonfire (warmth and warning!), pens to do the crossword before burning, gloves, confiscated kids toys (from miss slug!) and a phone charger...

maybe i should stick a pask of elastoplast in the glovebox?

Hi Tony,

Here, we have the highways patrol units (not the police). Who close
the motorway because, there's something on the road. (I don't think there's
a smiley for PANIC!!!) And, in Yorkshire, they have a 7.5 tonne wagon with
lights blazing, plus, rear water protection, to warn you of impending doom,
24 hours a day, but they will change your wheel for you, if you have a flat,
how kind!! What a waste.

Gman.

God help us all....

So?

I've carried that lot in my cars for years, law or no law. What's there to moan about?

Same here, except for the fire extinguisher, need to get a new one of those hopefully today.

[stormforce]

To be fair, that's sensible? Even if one's been forced to buy it (and it'll probably be largely useless), there's no point in having a piece of safety equipment that doesn't work?

all extinguishers have a best by date as such and by law have to be tested before that date experes or the extinguisher has to be emptied and then refilled etc at extra expence.I used to have to sort out the extinguishers in the 2 networkrail depots before i was laid off and there were something like 140 ish of them to check and make sure all in date etc

[slobodan]

Well I just nicked the 20 year old extinguisher out of the caravan and self tappered it into the wife's truck.
I'm not carrying one, but I'm 'ard and from London, so I don't need one.

[soramad]

if its a vehical powder one then its probably packed down into a hard lump and wo'nt work anyway.Vehicle co2 or foam ones are best but they don't last long enough to put out a good engine fire , and one big enough to do the job properly needs a seat on its own.

To be fair most of it seems a good idea in case you happen upon a crash or something..

Arriving at the scene of a Accident even with this equipment on board n just a couple of minutes to late to be of help .....
Always carry mine regardless !!


There's always a Payback .. Cos ya don't know where n ya never know when !!

[evildwarf]

The Police have brought out a raft of new laws (and fines) here, To come up to European standards
I have to moan about it somewhere.

Now I have to carry.
Comprehensive 1st aid kit.
Tow rope.
Special hammer for breaking windows.
Complete bulb kit.
Fire extinguisher.
Red warning Triangle.
Hi-vis vest.
I might as well add a cuddly toy for good measure.

IMO the majority of exinguishers that most have in their motors are too small and inefective, having put out just a few vehicle fires in my time

I agree, a good pair of trainers are what you need.
