I agree 100 %.
Trips here in the UK are a fraction of what you guys do. But I would not set
off on ANY journey in an unknown vehicle without backup, my own, in tools,
and an RAC card and cellphone at the very least.
I'm very sorry for the people stuck, but at least it might be a lesson to
others.

Best Cheers
