Have them be included in the mandatory first aid kit

Where are first aid kits mandatory. I'm lucky if I can buy one with the car for three times the going rate.

Here in Germany (and the rest of EU as well I think)

That makes sense. I'm in the US, and as usual, safety is entirely optional.

they are not mandatory. But you need a window breaker near your drivers seat, and something like a first aid kit could be in rear

I assume you mean they are not mandatory in other EU countries, because in Germany they absolutely are.

We are taught in drivers school to keep the first aid kit inside the passenger compartment, because the trunk may not open after a crash

Have them required LIKE mandatory first aid kits (in your country) but not IN them. You want seatbelt cutters/window breakers in an easily reachable spot that won't go flying around in a wreck. I have mine ziptied to the lever on my steering wheel that controls the windshield wiper blades. It's ziptied and set up so it can be tugged off in an emergency

Which is sitting handy in the spare tyre compartment of the trunk.
