lmfao very important

That jump starter is very important, ur ba3 can just play you drama anytime, and it feels very uncomfortable amd embarrassing to ask someone to remove their car ba3 for you.

Tool box too, don't joke with it, lack of ordinary 10 spanner can cost you a lot of time, energy, money etc or cause avoidable hazard.

In all, op is on point!

also towing rope and jumpstart kit

Ok

True

I doubt if 95% of female drivers in naija have any tools in their boot before driving. All they know is driving ,they can neither wash or repair the cars they drive
