FAQs

Q: Is this the complete list of what a car kit needs?
A: No. It is a common starting set. Add items for your climate, your usual routes and the people who travel with you.
Q: How often should I audit my kit?
A: The page has no schedule or reminders. Pick a rhythm that suits you, such as before long trips or when the seasons change, and untick everything to start the audit again.
Q: Does it tell me what the law requires?
A: No. Required safety equipment differs by place, so check your local rules.
Q: Are my ticks saved?
A: Yes. Ticks are saved in your browser on this device, so they are still there when you come back. They are not sent anywhere and do not follow you to another device or browser.
