Vehicles’ first aid kit may save lives if you get involved in a car accident or if you witness one.
Keeping first aid kit in a vehicle in Israel is legally obligated only in security and emergency vehicles,
trucks and shuttle vehicles.

Nevertheless, it is highly recommended to keep one in every vehicle, since the first minutes after every car accident might be critical, and a treatment given by a witness in time might save lives and be more effective than a professional medical crew member, which will get to the scene only after a few minutes.

According to Israeli law, in car accidents every witness must provide first aid according to his training and capability.

By Israeli Ministry of Transport’s recommendation, vehicle’s first aid kit should include personal field dressing, triangular fixator, 10 plasters, sterile strip, 6 cm long bandage, and cutting scissors.

The first aid kit’s bag should be sealed and heat, moisture and dampness resistant.

If in a car, the first aid kit should be kept in the glove box or in one of the car’s vehicle for fast pulling out.
