ledeSome people think the only things you need to drive are their keys and a full tank of gas.

Well, accidents happen and emergencies arise, so being prepared while on the road is important.

Whether you're taking a spirited drive for fun or traveling from point A to point B, there a few things that everyone should keep in their car at all times. 

Sure, you can never be too prepared, but with a few basic items you can find you way out of almost any jam — or, at the very least, they'll make getting help easier.

No matter what year, make, or model your car is it should come with basics like a tire iron and jack, but those two items alone won't cut it. If you end up with a dead battery or empty gas tank, you'll want a few other things to help you out.

Check out the 8 items you should keep in your car at all times below:

Jumper cables

A dead battery is one of the most common car issues, so jumper cables are a must-have. Whether you accidentally left your lights on or a cold winter left you stranded, this will bring your car back to life.

A good spare tire

Whether your car comes with a donut or a full-sized tire, you'd be surprised how many people don't have a good spare. Don't be the person who gets a flat, uses the spare and never replaces it because next time you'll be out of luck. Keeping a good spare tire is just as important as the four on your car.

A flashlight

Sure, your smart phone has a flashlight app on it, but it's not as useful as the a real one. The Outlite A100 has a bright light with an adjustable focus and five modes, including a disrupter strobe and SOS function.
