“It will never happen to me,” you say. “Why would I get stuck in my car during the winter? I’m a good driver and know how to handle my car in the snow and ice. I don’t need to carry around a winter emergency kit!”
Well, you might be right. You might be the greatest winter driver of all time. But, that does not mean that the person driving next to you is. What if they hit a patch of black ice, which sends their vehicle careening into yours, and you end up in a ditch? Or, what if you are driving and what should have been rain turns to freezing rain and all of a sudden the road home is too slick to navigate?
Mother Nature is unpredictable, so it is best that you prepare for whatever she might throw your way. For winter driving, this means having a winter emergency kit ready and in your car at all times. What should you have in that winter emergency kit? Funny you should ask, as we just spoke with Pat Goss about what he thinks should be in there.
Is there anything else you would add to your kit? Please stay prepared and safe this winter!
