Holiday road trips can be a blast when everything goes well. But weather, traffic, and emergencies can ruin the fun. Here’s a list of a few things to keep in your car this season to make your winter travel safer and more enjoyable!
Hygiene
Being in a vehicle for a few hours can get a little gross. Keeping a few basic hygiene items around can really help keep everyone healthy and sane. Hand sanitizer is a must. Tissues and paper towels also help clean up anything that needs a wipe. Throw in a few bags to collect trash to round out the hygiene kit.
First Aid
A small first aid kit is always a great thing to keep in the car. A first aid kit always comes in handy, from extra bandages for any small cuts to larger first aid items in case of an accident.
Winter Items
Winter travel may require some specialized items. A snow brush is necessary to clear snow and ice from windows, roofs, and lights. If you have the space, some road salt or cat litter can help with traction or traction boards. A shovel can also be a great addition to dig out from deep snow or a parking space. A small candle can keep you warm if you do become for an extended time.
Sunglasses
Even though the days are short and the skies are often gray in the winter, sunglasses are a must. Snow reflects the sun making it worse for vision and more damaging to your eyes. A decent pair not only keeps you safe driving, but protects your vision as well.
