Driving isn’t always fun and games, especially when you hit that sneaky bollard while reversing, have a dangerous tyre blowout a long way from home or find yourself in a situation where someone needs help right now.
Luckily, there are some clever accessories that you can add to your vehicle to improve safety significantly. From reversing cameras that help you avoid rear collisions to AED defibrillators that could save a life, here’s some safety gear every car should have, brought to you by the legends here at Safety Dave.
Reversing Cameras
No More Guesswork
Ever held your breath and hoped for the best while squeezing into a tight car park? Reversing cameras are here to save your bumper and protect lives and property.
Rear vision cameras give you a clear view of what’s behind you, whether it’s a pram, a pole or pedestrian wandering past. For young drivers especially, reversing cameras turn stressful manoeuvres into confident moves and for drivers of all ages, they reduce accidents in driveways and car parks.
AED Defibrillators
A Lifesaving Passenger
Not always something you’d expect in a car, but an AED (automated external defibrillator) could literally save someone’s life in an emergency.
We’re constantly hearing about the increase of people suddenly collapsing with cardiac arrest. In fact, each year across Australia, as many as 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur. Whether you’re on a road trip a long way from town or even just at footy training, having a portable defibrillator on hand could be the difference between life and death while waiting for an ambulance. Using a defibrillator within the first minute of sudden cardiac arrest, can potentially bring the chance of survival rate up to 90%.
At Safety Dave, you’ll find a defibrillator for sale that’s compact enough to keep in your car or caravan, so you’re always prepared. It’s one of the smartest investments you’ll ever make.
TPMS
Your Tyres’ Best Friend
Under-inflated tyres are one of the leading causes of blowouts on Aussie roads. The solution…A reliable tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
A TPMS continually monitors your tyre pressure and alerts you if something’s off so you can rectify the issue and stay safer on the road. It also saves you money on fuel, extends the life of your tyres and improves your car’s overall performance.
First Aid Kits
Mishaps Happen Any Time, Anywhere
Whether your child has scraped their knee at the skate park, you’ve had a spider bite while camping or suffered an extreme case of sunburn at the beach, it’s important to have first aid kits easily accessible in your vehicle.
The best kit is the one that’s fully stocked and ready to use, so always replenish your kit after each use and make sure you know how to use all of the tools and accessories included.
Safety gear like we’ve mentioned can give you confidence, independence and peace of mind on the road. Driving can be unpredictable, and when something unexpected happens, having the right gear can make all the difference.
