In preparation for the winter driving season, AAA is reminding drivers to put together an emergency kit for their vehicles.
Jana Tidwell is with AAA and she says an emergency kit should include a variety of items.
“The contents of that should include jumper cables, ice scrapers, flash light, tool kit, rock salt or kitty litter to help increase traction if you get stuck,” Tidwell said. “A portable shovel, an extra blanket, hat, scarf, gloves, and also some non-perishable snack food just in case.”
Tidwell says it’s a good idea to put the kits together now before the worst of winter hits.
