New Car Safety Essentials Checklist

1. Fire Extinguisher

Although not mandatory for small vehicles, a vehicle fire extinguisher can play a crucial role in emergencies.

2. Safety Hammer

Many have witnessed unfortunate incidents on television where cars submerged in water led to tragic outcomes due to the pressure preventing the doors from opening.

3. Dashcam

Dashcams ensure driving safety and reduce losses for car owners:

a. Safeguard the car owner's legal rights; in cases of pedestrian or vehicle collisions, a dashcam can provide irrefutable evidence, preventing losses.

b. In the event of a traffic accident, a dashcam assists authorities in swift case resolution, defining accident responsibilities. It also retains evidence from the incident, fostering a safe traffic environment.

Dashcams are small devices that record journeys and store data for future use. They offer vital evidence for insurance claims, protect against fraudulent claims, and expedite the insurance process.

4. Child Safety Seat

Child safety seats reduce impact forces and limit a child's body movement, thus minimizing potential injuries. In 2000, a serious accident occurred on Israeli roads, yet rescuers miraculously saved a child from the rear seat because the child was secured in a safety seat. This incident inspired the founder of Whelton, who established the company three years later.

5. Tire Inflator

In emergency situations, inflate tires quickly without waiting for lengthy rescue times.

6. Blind Spot Mirrors

Drivers often encounter scenarios where during a lane change, they realize a vehicle in their blind spot halfway through. These small mirrors effectively address blind spots, preventing such incidents.
