What should be in the car. Mandatory set of a motorist

2018 supplemented the list of mandatory items in the car of any driver with another indispensable attribute - a reflective vest, which must comply with GOST. The obligatoriness of other subjects has not gone anywhere. What and how exactly you need to carry with you in a car in 2019 and what criteria all this must meet - from the volume and composition of the fire extinguisher and first aid kit to the size of the sign emergency stop(AO, triangle) and, of course, the requirements for the vest?

What are the 4 things you need to carry in your car?

Everything is simple and clear here... On the one hand. After all, it is often spoken for passenger cars mobiles. And for them, the required attributes are:

1. first aid kit,
2. fire extinguisher,
3. warning triangle,
4. reflective vest.

But there are also trucks, motorcycles and buses. So, for them the following mandatory items are provided:

Trucks less than 3.5 tons- all the same as for passenger cars.

Trucks over 3.5 tons And buses maximum weight over 5 tons:

1. first aid kit,
2. fire extinguisher,
3. warning triangle,
4. reflective vest,
5. wheel chocks(at least 2 pieces).

Motorcycles with a side trailer:

1. first aid kit,
2. warning triangle,
3. reflective vest.

But not everything is so simple! Judge or executive, considering the violation, can justify their conclusion by the objectivity of the driver's actions - especially if he realized that he was driving with expired attributes that must be in the car. The expiration of these objects can form an offence, as it does not contribute to safety traffic just as if they were not present at all.

What are the requirements for a fire extinguisher?

Requirements for a fire extinguisher are dictated only technical regulation on the safety of wheeled vehicles, so he has no direct duties for the driver.

Thus, the regulation provides for the following rules:

• each car and motorcycle must have a place for its installation (clause 1.15.6.3):
  • for passenger cars - 1 fire extinguisher with a volume of 2 liters,
  • For trucks over 3.5 tons - 2 fire extinguishers: one - 2 liters, the second - 5 liters,
  • for buses - 2 fire extinguishers, one of which should be located near the driver's seat.
• the driver must reach the fire extinguisher with his hand from his seat (clause 1.15.6.3.1), which is surprising, because many fire extinguishers are located in the trunk or behind the passenger compartment,
• it must be sealed and with the specified expiration date,
• it must be securely fastened.

What are the requirements for a first aid kit?

A first aid kit has almost the same placement requirements as a fire extinguisher: a place to install it in a car. But there is no requirement for accessibility from the driver's seat. It must also not be expired.

The composition of the first-aid kit, according to the Order of the Ministry of Health No. 325, should be as follows:

1. tourniquet to stop bleeding
2. sterile and non-sterile bandages of various widths,
3. sterile dressing bag
4. gauze wipes,
5. adhesive plasters of various widths, including rolled,
6. system for artificial respiration,
7. medical scissors,
8. medical gloves,
9. instructions for use of all these items.

What are the requirements for an emergency stop sign?

This attribute is already regulated in 2019 special GOST- R 41.27-2001 (UNECE Regulation No. 27). It is very large, we will give only the main theses:

What are the requirements for a reflective vest?

The cape is also regulated by GOST under the GOST number 12.4.281-2014. In particular, it provides for the following basic requirements:

• reflector strip width not less than 5 cm,
• it can be either a vest or a jacket,
• they can have 2 stripes with reflective material.

Every car enthusiast knows that the car must have essential items, including a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher, an emergency sign. However, this list of things that should be in the trunk of a car is far from complete. On the road, you often have to deal with unforeseen situations (breakdowns and accidents). What then to do if you need to travel a long distance? It is necessary to take care in advance of supplying the trunk of the car with everything you need on the road by car.

What must be in the car interior?

A first aid kit is the most important item in terms of value and importance, which, according to the rules of the traffic police in 2015, must be in the cabin of any car if an unforeseen situation suddenly happens. The list of medicines is strictly regulated in the SDA. The main medical supplies that should be in the first aid kit include: bandage, tourniquet, ammonia, iodine, validol, artificial respiration apparatus, cotton wool, analgin, activated carbon and plaster. Other components of the pharmacy kit can be selected purely individually.

Among acute necessary items spare wheel, jack, wheel wrench. The wheels fail frequently and it becomes impossible to keep moving. To eliminate this trouble, the wheel needs to be replaced. To this end, you need to have a spare wheel in stock, to replace which you need a wheel wrench with a jack. In order to use the jack without any consequences (holes and dents) for the car body and the health of the car owner, it is desirable that there are several small boards or bars in the trunk. They can be placed under the car body and on the road. It does not hurt to stock up on a tire repair kit in order to seal a punctured wheel.

Wrenches will be needed on the road to troubleshoot the car. In addition, you may need a hammer, screwdriver, pliers, spare light bulbs, fuses. An emergency sign with a fire extinguisher is an important means to ensure the safety of a motorist. There are many types of fire extinguishers and car signs.

In addition to the above, the following devices must be present in the car trunk: pressure gauge, pump, reflective vest, tow rope, a scraper brush, a canister of gasoline, battery cigarette lighter wires, repair clothes, a flashlight. Only having prepared this set of items, you can safely go to the track.

It doesn't take much to pass the inspection. Only a technically sound car and in the trunk were the most necessary things in the car: a first aid kit, an emergency sign and a fire extinguisher. Of course, you can get a coveted ticket with such luggage, but whether it will help you on the road or not is another question.

Standard Minimum

It is clear with the first-aid kit: all medicines approved by the state must be available. Just before buying a treasured suitcase, you need to make sure that it has not expired.

Pay special attention to proper storage first aid kits.

You can't keep it on a shelf near rear window. In summer, under the direct rays of the sun, the temperature in the car will rise rapidly and medicines that cannot tolerate high temperatures deteriorate before their due date. And in winter in this place too low temperature comes on earlier and lasts longer than elsewhere in the cabin. Therefore, it is recommended to attach a first aid kit to the bottom of the seat. There it will always be at hand and, moreover, be preserved from the action of high and low temperatures.

Choosing a fire extinguisher, you should not be guided solely by appearance and price. Drivers most often choose small aerosol cans. Unfortunately, in practice, it turns out that their effectiveness is extremely low, and they only work for a few seconds. This is quite enough to pass the technical inspection, but they, in case of such a need, cannot be extinguished.

Powder fire extinguishers are considered the best. As in the case of a first aid kit, it must be fixed inside the cabin. But so that during emergency braking it does not fall on someone's head. If it is not possible to secure a fire extinguisher in the passenger compartment, you can put it in the trunk so that you can quickly get it if necessary.

It is also important to have an emergency stop sign. By installing it correctly, many complications can be avoided, especially if an unexpected stop has occurred.

For car health

Accidents are possible at any time, no matter how long the trip. Therefore, it is necessary to have some stock of tools with you for quick small repairs.

The main tools are a spare wheel, a jack and a compressor.

It seems that these are simple things, something that any driver should have in a car. But everything is not so simple.

car jack

The jack available in the machines and included in the manufacturer's kit is more for peace of mind. But at the wrong time, he can let you down. The manufacturer completes the car based on its cost, trying to make it as low as possible. If the car drives more around the city, then such a jack may be enough.

But for outings into nature or a hydraulic jack is needed.

Spare wheel

The spare is a little easier. It should not be new, because, due to the difference in grip between the wheels of the old and new rubber during turns and when braking, skidding may occur. Eventually . Tires should also be winter. If replaced in ice or snow put summer tires, then it will be simply dangerous to go.

An aerosol can of tire sealant will also be useful for punctures. It is poured into the tire through the nipple nipple. True, it will help only if the tire is punctured, for example, with a nail. But if the tire is torn, then only replacing the wheel will help.

Pump

Do not skimp on a good one. Ordinary hand pumps, which pump up tires, although they are still sold in some places, are no longer popular among drivers.

It's easier to connect an electric compressor through the cigarette lighter socket, and inflate the tire in a couple of minutes.

Important little things

Even a simple repair can bring a lot of inconvenience if it is carried out in the field. Some, at first glance, trifles may be simply necessary. Their absence will burn to lead to a long downtime in anticipation of good fellow travelers or a car service station. Therefore, it is better to have with you:

• The minimum set of tools. You don't need a professional kit, just pliers, a screwdriver and a set of keys.
• Spare parts - the most necessary: ​​spare bulbs, fuses, drive belt and a set of candles.
• Tow rope. Special attention on the carabiner and the reliability of its fastening.
• Lighting wires, they may not be useful, but still let them be in the trunk.
• to clear the windows of ice, and sweep the snow from the car.
• Rags and gloves. And with minor repairs, you can get smeared.

For beautiful ladies

No matter how well the lovely “driver” drives the car, the attitude towards her from the men on the road will still be condescending. But this can be used.

Feel free to ask for help - anyone will be happy to do a favor for a nice lady.

In order to travel calmly and be ready for all sorts of surprises, in addition to the usual set of things, you can take a few more little things with you, purely for women.

Spare tights will never be superfluous. Umbrella to keep the dress and hair in place during sudden weather changes. Change of shoes, if necessary minor repairs You will need it to avoid damaging the heels. Needle and thread (white and black).

This list can be continued indefinitely, and only the young lady herself knows what should be in the car, and what may be required (or maybe not). There are two options in this case. Or play it safe and load the car with everything, down to things from the wardrobe. It is wiser to choose something that can help with ordinary accidents on the eve of a long trip. You can consider this an opportunity to free your purse and reload some of the things into the glove compartment.

A little later, becoming a more experienced and respected motorist by colleagues in transport, you can get rid of half of the things. But for the first time behind the wheel, they can come in handy.

Conclusion!

It is impossible to take everything, just as it is impossible to predict what exactly can happen and how to insure against it. But there are situations that occur especially often. Knowledge about them comes with experience and then, only useful things for the car will be in the trunk.

You can never guess in advance what troubles await you on the road, and where it is better to lay straws so that it is softer to fall. However, some surprises can be foreseen. For example, a few of the most common things should be carried with you in the car to make your life easier and get rid of unnecessary problems.

15. Wrench for wheel nuts. A flat tire at the most inopportune moment is not the end of the world, especially if you have a spare tire. But what's the use of a spare if you don't have a wrench to take the punctured tire off and put on a new one. Of course, you can think of a lot of crazy ways to do without a key, but none of them will work. Trust us, we've tried.

14. Shovel. No one wants to get stuck in mud or snow. Therefore, a shovel is a great tool to take with you when going out of town in both winter and summer.

13. Scotch. Adhesive tape can come to the rescue in the most different situations, it is an ideal tool for quick repairs of a wide variety of parts. Don't underestimate the power of tape!

12. Fuel canister. Running out of gas is like forgetting your keys. closed car: everyone thinks that this will not happen to him, but it happens to everyone. The fuel can will prove to be a valuable tool when you find yourself on the side of the road with empty tank. It remains to be hoped that the nearest gas station will be close.

11. Spare clothes. A car appears out of nowhere, splashes muddy puddle water on you just as you're walking to your car, and speeds on. Of course, you can get behind the wheel in this form and stain the interior, but it is better to carry a set of spare clothes with you in the car.

10. Food. It is useful to carry some non-perishable food with you. Suddenly you will be stuck in a traffic jam for a long time or get lost in an unfamiliar area, far from any diner. Choose food from long term storage that does not need to be prepared.

9. Water. A couple of bottles of water is not an extra burden on any trip. Are you thirsty, will you need to wash your hands, clean windshield or pour liquid into the radiator - you can not do without water.

8. Spare key. Don't consider yourself the most miserable loser in the world if you forgot your keys in a locked car - everyone does this at least once in their lives. But The best way to cope with this trouble - to attach a spare key with a magnet to where you can easily get it.

7. Wires-cigarette lighters. It is enough to leave the car with the headlights on - and the battery will sit down very quickly. Carry lighter cables with you at all times - they will help you both get help and give it to fellow motorists in need.

6. Pressure gauge. Replacing faulty tires is not the best cheap pleasure, so better keep an eye on the condition of the wheels and check the pressure regularly. This will not only provide you with more high level security, but also save money.

5. First aid kit. Misfortunes do not take days off, and it is better to meet them fully armed. Bandages, antibiotics and other medicines may be needed at any time. And don't forget an aspirin, in case annoying fellow travelers give you a migraine.

4. Flashlight. It's perfect necessary device in any car. And if you've ever had to change a flat tire in the middle of the night, you'll know what we mean.

3. Money. Have you ever forgotten your wallet at home? These things happen very often, and it is worth having some cash in the car in case of emergency.

2. Jack. It will help you change a blown tire and get you out of the mud. An air jack is the easiest to use, so make sure you have one in your car.

1. Spare wheel. If you have a flat tire and no spare wheel ... However, let's not talk about sad things. It seems that the spare tire is simply a must have in the car, it's just a matter of common sense, but you'd be surprised how many drivers think the fifth wheel is superfluous and end up wasting a lot of time and effort by being sidelined with a flat tire.

Modern cars offer a high level of comfort and reliability, but anything can happen on the road. Today we will tell you what should be in any car - regardless of the brand, price and driver.

Of course, each driver has his own opinion about the configuration of the car, but we will try to select the really important and necessary things.

Mandatory List

The most important - mandatory documents, which are necessary for the traffic police and traffic police, as well as your peace of mind. As of September 2016, the list includes:

1. driver's license;
2. car insurance;
3. vehicle registration certificate.

Please note that the technical passport (PTS) does not have to be in the car - it is even recommended to keep it at home.

In addition, the vehicle must contain items approved by law:

1. fire extinguisher;
2. first aid kit (with the right time suitability);
3. warning triangle.

What will be useful on the road?

The rest of the list of items and things is not required by law, but is very useful and can help out in difficult times.

Spare wheel and jack. A punctured wheel can be changed in 10-20 minutes, calmly drive to a tire shop and continue the trip. If there is no spare wheel and jack, you will have to call a tow truck, for a long time wait for it (especially if the breakdown occurred on the highway), and spend a lot of money.

Pump. Sometimes the tire deflates slowly and we head to the tire shop. But if a similar problem catches you on the road, you will definitely need a pump. Compressor or mechanical - there is no consensus, both are better. Moreover, tire pressure important indicator on which safety and fuel consumption depend. With a good pump with accurate pressure measurement, you can inflate the tires with the same pressure and be calm on a long trip.

Tow rope. Yes, you will almost certainly not break down and the trip will end successfully, but the cable must be in the car with mechanical box gears. Vehicles with automatic transmission gears can be towed up to 30-40 km at speeds up to 30-40 km / h, although it is better to play it safe and call a tow truck.

Keys and tools. This is especially true for long trips, in which a set of necessary tools will not interfere with you: screwdrivers, keys, pliers, etc. Each driver should have a rough understanding of what he may need and what size keys to take. Most best option- the so-called ratchet key and a set of nozzles for it.

Brush and scraper - necessary tools V winter time. While the car is warming up, you will have time to clear it of snow and icing.

If you are going to long journey, for a picnic, fishing or nature, it is recommended to expand the equipment of the machine.

A shovel or sapper shovel is a universal tool that will help you “dig out” a car if it gets stuck in snow or mud, and is also useful for other purposes.

Motor oil, antifreeze, antifreeze, anti-freeze - liquids sometimes run out, and it is better to replenish them in a timely manner.

Flashlight. Unforeseen situations happen in different time day and night is no exception. If you have a bright standalone flashlight, it will make the task much easier.

Lighting wires. The battery is discharged unexpectedly and at the most inopportune moment, and without it, as you know, starting a car is problematic. In this case, the ignition wires will help - the car will start from the battery of another car, and you can continue on your way.

Other: a knife, matches, gloves, adhesive tape, towels, rags, water, food, money and much more - turn on your imagination, remember what you and your friends once missed.

Electronics - in the car!

It's the 21st century, and a variety of electronics is an integral part of it. Many drivers buy the following devices in their car:

• Navigator - will build a route, show a detour around traffic jams, warn about radars and perform a variety of tasks. useful features. Read more about choosing a navigator in this article.
• A printed version of the route if you are traveling far. It contains intermediate settlements, distances and estimated travel time. You can get such a printout on our service for calculating distances.
• DVR - will film everything that happens on the road. You will always have proof of your innocence in the event of a “setup” on the road or a regular accident.
• Anti-radar, which will warn about speed cameras and radars of traffic police officers.
• The radio is a tool mainly for truckers who talk to each other, share advice, knowledge and anecdotes. The walkie-talkie is also used by drivers who want to know traffic situation ahead. Moreover, the device will help to contact people in case of problems with cellular communication or a discharged phone.
• Charging for a phone or smartphone (charger cord + cigarette lighter adapter). As a rule, the adapter is very cheap, but in a difficult situation it can be great to help out and charge your smartphone from the cigarette lighter so that you can contact someone.
• Breathalyzer. Some drivers are afraid of losing their rights, money and nerves due to the fact that a traffic police officer may ask to “blow into a straw”. We are not talking about violators of the law and unscrupulous drivers, but about those who, for example, drank two days ago and are afraid that alcohol is still in their blood. Whatever the situation, a personal breathalyzer will show the level of alcohol and give an answer to the question - can you drive or not.

New in the rules of the road

Like any other branch of legislation, the rules of the road are constantly changing. They are associated with many tasks - an attempt to reduce the number emergencies, preventive measures By traffic violations, simplifying the lives of drivers and setting the right priorities on the road.

In 2017, a lot of innovations were made in official rules. Some of them were called unequivocally positive, others caused some controversy. Nevertheless, all amendments are approved by law, therefore, from the date of entry into force, they are mandatory for all road users. And so that the driver does not get into an unpleasant situation, he needs to learn and learn all the changes. Informed means armed.

Newbie Restrictions

The loudest and most resonant change in the rules of the road in 2017 came into force on April 4. It introduces several significant restrictions at once for drivers whose experience is less than two years (from the moment they first received the right to drive a vehicle).

1. A novice driver is prohibited from transporting in his car (trailer) dangerous substances and materials. Such measures will greatly reduce the opportunities for novice truckers, but, according to the legislator, they will be able to strengthen control over the movement of dangerous goods and reduce the likelihood of a novice overestimating his strength, which is highly undesirable in cargo transportation.
2. Without a driving experience of two years, the driver will not be able to tow a vehicle on any type of hitch. In other words, he will not be able to help a friend / relative / stranger who is in trouble somewhere far from the city, since he no longer has the right to tow another car. On the other hand, the inexperience of young and novice drivers can provoke accidents that are fraught with trouble for both the towing vehicle and the one being towed.
3. The new restrictions will also affect motorcyclists. Owners iron horses now it is forbidden to carry passengers until the moment when their rights of category “A” are 2 years old. Motorcyclists reacted ambiguously to this decision. Some are ardent opponents of the law, saying the strangeness of the ban on carrying passengers to good and responsible drivers with an experience of one and a half and a year or a year and nine months. Others agree that newcomers often seek to demonstrate their prowess, which can lead to serious traffic accidents.
4. Since April 4, the absence of the “novice driver” sign (yellow triangle or square with black exclamation mark) is for the beginner technical malfunction under which the operation of the vehicle is prohibited.

For violations of the above rules, administrative liability is now provided. For example, for the absence of the “novice driver” sign - 500 rubles (under part 1 of article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses), for violation of the rules for towing or transporting passengers - also 500 rubles (under article 12.21, part 1 of article 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, respectively).

dangerous driving

Dangerous driving is a completely new concept that was introduced into the traffic rules in the summer of 2016. It implies the commission of repeated certain actions by the offending driver:

• refusal to give way to a vehicle in cases where this action is mandatory (presence of an advantage);
• changing from one line to another dense stream cars, when the remaining lanes are occupied by other cars, with the exception of turning, turning and forced avoidance of obstacles;
• violation of the level of distance and lateral interval;
• sharp, unconditioned braking;
• deliberate obstruction of overtaking.

This rule was also introduced in order to reduce the number of "reckless" and provocateurs on the roads and tracks. However, the sanction for dangerous driving has not yet been included in the Administrative offenses. Only in the near future it is planned to include Article 12.38 in the Code of Administrative Offenses, which will provide for liability for the above actions in the form of a fine of 5,000 rubles.

In the near future, it is planned to improve this rule and tighten the responsibility for these violations. In particular, in case of repeated gross violation and dangerous maneuvers, deprivation of rights and confiscation of the violator's car is not excluded.

New exam

Autumn 2016 began with changes in the procedure for passing the exam driving license. Moreover, the innovations affected all stages of the exam:

1. In the theoretical part, the “student” needs to answer 20 questions in 20 minutes. If he makes a mistake, then five additional questions are added to him without the right to make a mistake and five minutes of extra time.
2. The number of exercises required for passing the exercises on the autodrome has increased to 5 (previously it was 3) and a time limit was introduced.
3. Passing the exam in the city now lasts as much as 30 minutes, which is quite difficult for the instructor, and for the inspector, and for the potential driver.

From September 1, 2016, all driving schools are gradually switching to this exam format, which will be improved in the future.

Communication between the driver and the inspector

From the end of 2016 to the beginning of 2017, there was whole line changes relating to the relationship of car owners and employees of road services.

First, according to the decree Supreme Court, now drivers are prohibited from presenting their licenses and other documents to the inspector, which are attached to the car interior in some way. Usually, drivers make such fasteners to prevent the traffic inspector from carrying their documents to the car. Now for such capricious actions can be fined. Soon, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will prescribe new rules.

Mandatory recording of an attempt to give a bribe to an inspector is also introduced, and initiatives are proposed to challenge the violator's claims by the traffic police and familiarize themselves with the evidence of guilt.
