Abstract

A roadside emergency kit that is compact, simple to store, reusable and readily available in times of emergency, for use in a motor vehicle. The kit incorporates a brightly coloured signalling banner with a compact storage device and a device for cleaning the windows of the vehicle. The signalling banner is foldable and may be mounted on the interior of a vehicle window. It can be stored easily in the storage device. The storage device is incorporated in a device that may also be used for cleaning the window, such as an ice scraper. The signalling banner can be made highly visible in less than ideal weather conditions by utilizing the cleaning device to clean the outer side of the vehicle window.
