As the roads get busy this holiday season, you can keep a few items in your vehicle to help keep you safe.
A Phone Charger
A spare charger can be useful Even if your vehicle has a built-in charging pad. Having an extra charger at a rest stop can be a lifesaver if your battery dies. An external battery is another great idea for long trips.
Flares and Signaling devices
Being able to get the attention of other drivers or emergency services is key to staying safe this holiday season. Flares and signaling tools are indispensable, from alerting other motorists to your presence while replacing a tire to flagging down help.
Jumper Cables
Jumper cables are something that should be kept in your vehicle year-round, but batteries are more likely to have issues in colder weather. A quick jump can get you back on the road fast if you have a set of cables in your vehicle.
Water and Snacks
While these might seem like road trip essentials, they are great items to keep in your vehicle during the winter. Losing focus in traffic, have a snack.
A Snowbrush
A few other tools are suited for the job when you need one. Brooms can scratch your paint. Using a sleeve just gets you wet. A credit card could be better at scraping ice. Whether you are ready for an unexpected snowfall at home or heading to a snowy destination, a snowbrush can save you.
