That's now died but it's hard to flatten the battery on my current car anyway (because the lights automatically switch off when I take the key out), so I'm prepared to chance it (and rely on the RAC if it happens) ;
Torch: Yes
Bulbs: Yes (although, since my local garage will supply and fit a headlamp bulb for a fiver, I usually get them to do it)
Tow rope: No. If I ever need a tow I'll be phoning the RAC anyway, so I won't need a rope.
Also:
Fire extinguisher: Yes
First aid kit: Yes
Warm clothing: Yes
Emergency foil blanket: Yes
Snow shovel: No (although I might get one if I'm ever likely to be driving where there's heavy snow)
Flask of hot drink: No (but I've always got cans of energy drink in my car)
Reflective triangle: No. I must get a new one. My last one was flattened by a lorry when I went to help a friend whose car campervan had broken down.
Windcreen scraper: Yes
De-icer: Yes
Tyre pump: My electric one has packed up - I'll probably buy a new one this week - but I've got a foot pump anyway

Pretty much the same as Chris for the same reasons....also always wellies and welly socks as the shoes I drive in would be no good in mud plus spare dog leads and collars and a snack for the dogs. I don’t bother carrying bulbs. If anything major went out Id call the RAC, minor stuff I would get home and go to a garage the next day. I don’t drive distance.
