Potential injury-causing accidents can happen anytime, anywhere on the road. Just as problematic is you or a passenger experiencing health problems, say, in the middle of nowhere, with no nearby hospital or medical center in sight. Even if you do see some, there might be little (if ever) chance of you or that passenger getting accommodated for various reasons -- among these being that they are reserved for those infected by COVID-19.

For these, you will need a dedicated first aid kit stored in your vehicle. It typically contains first aid equipment that help treat minor injuries and other treatable health issues such as itchiness and headaches. And it may even come with a durable case/bag for protection. What matters is that having one in your car helps you be prepared for almost anything unfortunate on the road.
