A spade or shovel is useful too. That, wellies and an extra coat and/or woolly go in if there's snow on ground or forecast.
You can get caught in hot weather too. I got stuck in the M1 15>14 for 90+ minutes in 2018. Cloudless day in June, upper twenties outside. I'm bad at drinking water generally and hadn't grabbed a bottle - only going down to Heathrow to pick up Mrs B. Got out of jam in end by following others via an emergency cross over to the northbound.
Lesson about water probably still not learned.
