In Argentina, especially in certain provinces, it is required by law for each vehicle to carry a Mortuary Blanket. This is in case you come across a dead body, so that you can cover it. My kids call it the death blanket. It is considered part of your Emergency Roadside Kit that you cover, which includes: a fire extinguisher, flares, reflective triangles, reflective vests, jumper cables, first aid kit, etc. Now you might be thinking that you can carry any blanket, but sadly no. You must have a certified mortuary blanket. Some provinces do not have this law and others do not enforce it. But we have heard that there is one (Entre Rios) that will fine anyone not carrying it and require them to buy it (on the spot) or have their car impounded. Do you have a death blanket??
