i am the only driver now and usually on my own

 

i have a spare key to carry with me which was carried by the other driver and we travelled together

 

where is the best place to keep it if i take it with me...which i want to do...could lose the main one

 

can anyone advise please...both keys are the ones with the chip/ button controls and flick out key part

 

cheers

geof

 

 

My 2nd key is always on my spare house key ring and in a fastened / safe pocket.

This is just incase i lose the main key which i try to always have in a different pocket.

Probably wouldn't use the above method,  but may be possible to hide spare key in a recess in the rear bumper,  secured in place by masking tape or tie wraps? 

 

Although not a means of storing a spare key,  I used something similar to THIS  to keep my handcuff and van keys on. 

 

Never lost a key in the 6 years I used it.  Always right where I needed it,  and unlike some people,  I never left the key in the ignition* when dealing with an incident! 

 

*mainly due to the fact you go @r$£ over tit if you forget to remove the key!

I like that.  I've tried to use the ski pass type with cord but they break too easily.  Your version with stainless cord looks the part.

Thanks again...this seems the easiest to do and i have found a mobile pocket in my zip up jacket which has a velcro flap...

the spare drops in neatly and i have also found in my cupboard a small carabiner which when attatched to the key also slips into the mobile pocket so i can also attach the key if required to some part of my clothing...

i had thought about putting on a lanyard round my neck

i didnt want to drill the car or put the spare where there might be water and mud....lots of good ideas like that out there as well

cheers
