AA Vehicle Breakdown Safety Kit Plus AA5618 – Tyre Inflator, Warning Triangle, Tow Rope, Hi-Vis Vest, Torch, Glass Hammer, Booster Cables, Storage Bag

Although the ‘NF Approved Breathalyser’ is listed as one of the products required to travel in Europe, and the kit claims to insure against all spot fines, the breathalyser is not included in the pack!!!This marketing I found highly misleading and not up to the standards I would expect of Amazon or the AA.

We received this ready for my daughters 17th Birthday tomorrow as we've bought her a little car and when I opened the box up so I could wrap it, itvwadnt in the box as advertised, it was in a dirty yellow bag which was completely filthy, covered in black marks & the handle was fraid & broke (See photo) I didn't have anything else to give her & I couldn't send it back because it's her birthday tomorrow. So I've taken all the items out of the bag & put them in a nice box so they look better. Very disappointed!!! Update - she was pleased with the items until she took out the jump leads & one of the plastic handles feel off exposing all the wire. It's disgusting that it cost me over £40 in total for this rubbish. I'm so upset for my daughter & I feel terrible that I have it to her as a present. I'm now seeking a full refund!

Even though I did not read the item description. I did read other reviews which all mention the breathalyser. This DOES NOT come with one. To return the item is £4. To buy a separate breathalyser is £5. So please please pay attention to the description NOT THE REVIEWS which seem to be misleading to say the least. Also note that a “European travel pack”. Should include what you need to drive in Europe. This doesn’t

I was surprised to see that despite the description (UK Badge) the kit still contains GB sticker (I have ordered it on Monday 27th of Sep and received next day) which as of today is no longer valid in Europe, but that the Breathalyzers have less than a year expiry date (March 2022). For the latter I didn't do any research so I could be persuaded that it is a decent expiry date. But all in all i am not all that impressed since I have to now buy proper UK Badge and remember to buy new breathalyzers in few months time.Rest of the kit seems ok.

==NOTE: I AM REVIEWING THE 'AA WINTER EMERGENCY KIT' AND 'AA VEHICLE BREAKDOWN SAFETY KIT PLUS'==-BOTH PRODUCTS PURCHASED FROM AND FULFILLED BY AMAZONUK-I've never understood why so few people in the UK have things like this in their vehicles, as with a fire extinguisher... you might never need it but you'll regret not having it if you do.Both products don't take up much of any space in the boot, they have velcro on the bags which prevents them from sliding around all over the place (which also means it keeps my mini refrigerator from doing the same).They are good standard little kits, all self-contained inside the bag and fits inside the car without taking up much space, the bags are bright yellow and easy to see.If you're a newer driver, like myself (I only got my licence in 2018) then it's a good standard go-to set of kits for you.Better to be prepared and not use it than to be unprepared and need it.
