At least for apple users, not sure about android. If you press your power button 5 times in a row it will show two options, emergency SOS and medical ID, along with emergency contacts. Really handy for in a pinch and also if you find someone passed out you can check on their emergency contacts and medical info

On androids (or at least my pixel 5a) the lock screen has a button that says "emergency call", if you press it you can get to personal emergency from that screen.

If someone throws eggs or paint on your windshield don't put your wipers on as it will just spread it around. Keep driving until you're in a public place where there are multiple other people and then clean it off.
• If you find a water bottle with tinfoil in it do not touch it. There's a small chance it'll explode.
• if you're stuck somewhere cold, do not use snow as drinking water unless you've melted it.
• wear a freaking mask the pandemic is not over
• if you see a black bear act big and make noise but don't do that with larger species of bears
• don't put toilet paper on wounds even if it's clean
• don't put water on a fire if you don't know how it started
• if you need stitches you can't wait to go get them because after a day it will be pointless.
• if a cop tries to pull you over it's legal to put your flashers on and keep driving slowly to somewhere safe to pull over or somewhere with witnesses but keep in mind some cops might not like that.
• don't blindly follow safety tips from unverified sources on the internet such as myself without fact checking them

If your vehicle or hobby requires safety gear, use it! So many people killed because they thought safety gear was uncool or unnecessary.
