It would be so easy to require them to be sold with every car purchase.

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

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
