Automobile Emergency Protocol

What is the best way to handle an auto accident? Here are suggestions from Steve Wager:

Light – To alert other drivers (batteries)
Tools/Gloves – Depending on skill level
            Duc tape, zip ties, screwdrivers, pliers, bailing wire, shop towels
First Aid Kit/blanket – For accidents
Jumper cables – For a dead battery (?)
Water/Food – For distance travel
Fluids – Oil, coolant (for distance travel)
            Oil/coolant – verify the proper type
Proper maintenance on vehicle
Good spare tire, jack and lug wrench
Fuel tank never less than ½ full
Cash to pay for fuel – DO NOT carry fuel in vehicle
