First aid kitDepending on where you live, winter driving can be anything from an adventure to just plain stupid. If you are going to be out on the roads there are some car preparation and driving tips that are crucial. How to Winterize your Car.....and your Brain for Winter Driving outlines important tips, from preparing your car for the season to safe driving behavior and habits in specific conditions. Along with their tips, they have a supplies checklist for a vehicle emergency pack.

Vehicle emergency pack
  1. Flashlight
  2. Flares
  3. First-aid kit
  4. Blanket
  5. Warm winter clothes
  6. Bag of sand or salt (to use for traction if your tires get stuck)
  7. Snow-brush, ice scraper and snow shovel
  8. Wiper fluid
  9. Paper towels
  10. Food and water
You might already have some of these things in the trunk, but have a look through and make sure everything still works. Add the items you're missing and throw them together in a backpack. Hopefully you only ever need to go in there for some sand or an ice scraper, but if you do ever find yourself needing flares or warm blankets, it could save your life.
