Winter is just around the corner and for many that means snow and ice can add to the hazards on the road.
Having a well stocked emergency kit in your car can help to save your life and make you more comfortable
during breakdowns, accidents and long waits.
Your kit should include:
*Battery jumper cables
*First aid kit
*Shovel
*Basic tools (pliers, wrench, screwdriver and knife)
*Blankets
*Extra clothing (hats, socks, boots, mittens)
*Flashlight
*Bag of sand
*Cellular phone or CB Radio
You don’t have to live in a wintery climate to encounter icy roads and hazardous roadways. In temperatures
at or just above 32-degrees, a thin layer of water can turn to or cover ice, causing extremely dangerous,
slippery driving conditions.
