Safe Winter Travel: Preparing an Emergency Road Kit
Nov 12, 2012
You and your family are driving along late at night on a road trip to visit family when the weather takes a turn for the worse. As if the snow and wind aren’t enough to put your nerves on edge, your car begins to shimmy and shake and you hear a thump, thump, thump that can only mean one thing: a flat tire.
A roadside emergency like a flat can happen anytime, anywhere, in any kind of weather so it’s important to be prepared -- especially during the coldest months of the year. To give yourself peace of mind this winter, take time to put together a winter emergency road kit. It could save the lives of you and your family, or at the very least, bring some comfort while you wait for help to arrive.
