This problem is under review by carmakers, and air bags that inflate less forcefully may be installed in the future. Always wear your seatbelt, and see that your passengers wear their seat belts, too. Air bags give added protection in a crash but should be used in addition to a seat belt. Position your driver's seat and front passenger seat as far back as practicable. If you transport children in your car, put them in the rear seat wearing their seat belts.
First aid kits Some cars are equipped with first aid kits.
Kits can also be bought or easily made up. Packaged bandages and dressings that stay clean until used can be bought. They should be kept in a clearly marked container with a well- fitting lid. The kit can be very simple, and may include just a few large bandages and pressure dressings to slow bleeding and keep wounds clean until they can be treated. You never know when it may be needed.
