There are certain things that the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) requires drivers in Nigeria to possess. Unknown to many, one of them is a razor blade.
Not all vehicle drivers are aware that the razor blade is part of the items that are expected to be in their vehicles when driving.
No one prays to be involved in an accident, but they say prevention is better than cure. These are the reasons why drivers should have razor blades in their vehicles as part of their safety equipment.
For emergencies
Emergency situations are not unusual when driving. Therefore, it is important to always have safety equipment, such as razor blades, that come in handy during these types of emergencies. Blades are necessary for cutting things like tangled seat belts in emergency situations.

In case of stuck seat belt clip
Having a razor blade on hand can be useful in cases where victims of a traffic accident are trapped in the vehicle. Razor blades can be used to free people trapped by a seat belt that has become stuck and cannot be unlocked as a result of the impact of the accident.
For first aid treatment
Additionally, in cases where it is necessary to administer first aid to accident victims, the razor blade can be used to cut plaster and bandages where there are no scissors.

Road breakdown cases
Likewise, in the event that your vehicle breaks down on the road, a razor or knife can be used to cut a seat belt from the back seat and connect it to another vehicle for towing in the absence of a tow rope.
It should be noted that the best place to store the razor blade in your vehicle is the glove box so that it can be easily removed in case of emergency.
To ensure our safety as drivers and that of our passengers, our vehicles should have a first aid kit and not just razor blades. Our safety should be of great importance to us because life has no duplicates.
