In your trunk: • Windshield scraper and snowbrush • Folding shovel • Cat litter, sand, or salt for traction on slippery surfaces • Tow rope • Jumper cables • Warning light or road flares • Antifreeze/windshield washer fluid
In the glove box: • $20 in small bills and change, just in case • Pad of paper and pen – for jotting down info after an accident • Regional roadmaps • Windup flashlight Looking for more tips on winter driving and car readiness?
