Florida Drivers: What To Keep In Your Glove-Box

 

Except for that recent cold-snap in Florida, most Floridians don't need to keep gloves in their car or truck's "glove box"; so in addition to the typical things you have in there (ie. vehicle registration, manual and other important papers, etc), here are some more suggestions:

1. A disposable camera.

 

2. A seatbelt cutter / window breaker.

 

3.  Print this Driver Exhange of Information form and keep it in your glove box in case of an accident:

Driver Exchange of Information

DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAY SAFETY AND MOTOR VEHICLES
DIVISION OF FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL

This form has been designed to assist all parties involved in making an incident report to their insurance company.
