Some items are essential to have with you when you are out and about in your vehicle. Some of them fit in the glove box, and some of them should be in your trunk. You need to have a spare tire, a jack, and a can of Fix a Flat is always helpful. At Oak Ridge Insurance Services in Oak Ridge, NC, we are independent insurance agents, which means we work for our customers and can offer them more options.<\/p>\n

Documents<\/h2>\n

Certain documents should always be in your glove box. When you register your motor vehicle, you are given a copy of your registration. Many states allow their residents to renew their motor vehicle registrations online. Please print off the registration and carry it in your glove box. When you renew your registration, you need to get a vehicle inspection. You should also carry the test results in your glove box to prove you passed. Your auto insurance company provides a printable card to prove that you have the mandated auto insurance coverage, which should also be in your glove box.<\/p>\n

Carry your driver’s license on your person whenever you drive your vehicle.<\/p>\n

Other Glove Box Necessities<\/h2>\n

For practical purposes, your glove box should contain a pen and paper. A flashlight and an umbrella will also be very handy. A glass-breaking tool and a seatbelt cutter can save lives if the vehicle is submerged. If you are stuck in your vehicle, having a nonperishable snack and a bottle of water is a smart option. An extra charging cord and a charger for your electronics will also be much appreciated.<\/p>\n
