Creating the Ultimate Emergency Kit

Accidents happen! It’s just part of life but being prepared for those accidents is key. Your safety is important to us here at Spieler’s Incorporated. That is why we have put together a list of items to help you create your emergency kit for your car. In this week’s blog, the most trusted car dealer in mid-Missouri will list out the items for the ultimate emergency kit.


First Aid

This really should go unmentioned, but it's often overlooked. A first aid kit, complete with gauze, band-aids, and medical tape/antibiotic ointment really goes a long way in treating those accidental scrapes one can obtain while troubleshooting any emergency.


Blanket

No matter what the weather is, people tend to sleep under a blanket or sheet, right? The same rule applies here. A blanket can keep you warm and protected from the elements should your vehicle break down or if you're in an accident.

Spare Clothes

A spare set of jeans and a shirt are perfect for an emergency, whether that's a stain or for staying dry! Also, a jacket and a pair of gloves are a must-have.


Hand Warmers

Hand and foot warmers interact with oxygen in the air, heating up and keeping you warm for hours. These are perfect for those moments in the winter when the worst could happen.


Snack Items 

Nut bars and canned goods are perfect for the average emergency kit because of their ease of access and energy intake they can give the body. Don't forget the can opener!


Water

The most important supply to have on hand, bottled water can be used for drinking, for cooling, and for making food. A few small bottles or a gallon jug should be enough to keep you quenched and still have enough left over to be helpful.


Flashlight

A flashlight is a perfect fit for every kit out there. Make sure to pack fresh batteries or use a flashlight that has a fresh charge. Also, in today's world, a cellphone is an essential item! Charging a portable battery and putting it in the pack is a great way to guarantee a working phone throughout the entire situation.


Tool Kit

A tool kit is a centerpiece to the emergency bag. It should include several items that can be used in nearly every situation!


Jumper Cables 

In case the vehicle battery is dead, or simply needs a boost, jumper cables can save the day, provided you have someone else with a vehicle nearby.

An emergency kit should be in every car you own. No matter if it's new or old, or if it's you or your child’s car. All of these items are easy to come by and can easily fit into a duffle bag to be placed in the trunk or under the seat of your car. When an emergency strikes, you will be prepared. At Spieler’s Inc we want you to be safe and be prepared for any accidents or emergency that may arise. That is why your Jefferson City Ram dealer put this list together. Be safe out there!

Things to Avoid Behind the Wheel

Driving is a big responsibility but over time can become a mundane daily task. As we drive to work, drop the kids off, and make our way around town to run errands, many people pay less and less attention to the task at hand. Driving should receive your undivided attention each time you put the vehicle in drive. As the best car dealership in mid-Missouri, we think it's important to raise awareness for safe driving habits. Here at Spieler's Inc., we've included a helpful list of things you should NOT do behind the wheel!


Using Your Phone While Driving

Distracted driving is the cause of many accidents and phone use is a top distracted behind the wheel. Looking at your phone instead of focusing on the road is a dangerous distraction. Even if you are watching the road while on a phone call, you still may be more focused on your conversation than driving.. This is a big distraction and can be dangerous for the driver and others on the road.

Following Closely Behind a Vehicle

A good rule of thumb is to allow 1 car length for every 10mph you are traveling. For example, if you are going 60mph, you want to have 6 car lengths of space between your car and the car in front’s bumper. Allowing adequate room between vehicles gives enough time to react if the car in front were to break suddenly.

Driving Over the Speed Limit

A common bad habit for many drivers is speeding. Speed limits are set for the purpose of keeping drivers safe. Usually speeding will not get a driver to their destination that much quicker. Take your time when driving and leave in plenty of time to avoid going over the speed limit when traveling on the road.


Not Letting Others Know Your Intentions

Many drivers do not use a turn signal when turning or changing lanes. This helps show other drivers on the road which direction you plan to turn or merge. If you do not use a turn signal, another driver may not be aware of where you plan to move your vehicle.

Speed Up Through Yellow Light

When a light turns yellow, many drivers will accelerate through the intersection to avoid stopping at the soon approaching red light. When a driver speeds through, the light may have already turned red which triggers the alternating lights to turn green. This can lead to an unnecessary wreck in an intersection.

There are a number of driving habits that we may not even realize we are doing on a regular basis. Our car dealership in California, MO knows everyone gets busy and rushes through our daily tasks but take extra time to use caution behind the wheel. This can help keep everyone on and around the roadways safer!

Top Reasons Your Next Vehicle Should be a Truck

Are you going to be in the market for a new or used vehicle this fall? There are many options when it comes to styles of vehicles. If you haven’t considered a pickup truck, you should! At your California MO, truck dealership we have the best selection. There are many benefits to owning a truck and Spieler’s Incorporated would like to share a few reasons why you should buy a truck, in this week’s blog.


Today’s Trucks Offer Many Features

In years past, trucks were utility vehicles, mostly used to haul equipment and tools. That isn't necessarily the case anymore. Trucks can come with a myriad of features, including back seats, comfort features like seat warmers, and helpful interior accessories like power outlets and a rear-view camera. Trucks have come a long way since the days of the past.

Trucks Are Tough

Trucks are designed to drive through difficult terrain. SUV's are supposed to be the perfect blend between a car and a truck, but when it comes to handling and driving in poor road conditions, they still can't hold a candle to a pickup truck.

Towing

Let's face it, the main attraction to a truck is its ability to tow things. Towing big toys, boats, trailers, and campers will be no problem, and a truck is the perfect all-around vehicle for hauling nearly anything you can throw at it. The next time you see a compact car with a trailer hitch, laugh a little bit because it probably can't haul more than a bike rack.

Storage

Thinking of taking a weekend journey? Maybe you want to pack up a tent and some bicycles for a trail ride and then set up camp in the woods. Well, you're in luck, because a truck can handle all of that with plenty of space, and you still have plenty of room in the cab for the family.


We Live in Truck Country

People are always in need of a truck. If you own a truck, you're likely going to be called upon for helping in parades, moving firewood, hauling hay, moving furniture, and possibly even heavy equipment for some pals. All of these are common occurrences here in the Midwest. If you're feeling generous, a truck can be the perfect tool to help your friends.

Sit Up High

Compact vehicles are often designed to crumple in a way that sometimes ruins the vehicle at the expense of keeping the passengers safe. Trucks are generally built a bit higher than other vehicles and are usually built to be more rigid and durable too. This means that they can escape minor collisions with less damage than some compacts.


As you can see, trucks are just so versatile! You can ride in luxury, haul the family, and still tow your boat to the lake. Come and see what trucks are all about at your mid-Missouri Ram Dealer.  Here at Spieler’s Inc., we make it easy to find your next vehicle. With a great selection, aggressive pricing, and our laid-back approach, you will love how we do business. Come check out for yourself at the best dealer in central Missouri.
