Tips on driving safety in a variety of road conditions.

4. Put together the most complete emergency kit possible, especially for winter driving in remote locations.
Be ready in case you get stuck. Use a solid container for your kit (a heavy bag, plastic bucket or case). Some things to include: road flares, blankets, jumper cables, snacks, a small cooking stove, soup packets, cooking pots and eating utensils, thick socks, hat, mittens, tire chains, snow shovel, candle, lighter and matches, flashlight and radio with good batteries, something to read during long waits. Don't forget medicines and essential personal supplies. Always have a first-aid kit, and make sure your cell phone has adequate battery strength.
