HOLIDAY TRAVEL-TIME IS UPON US: WITH MORE PEOPLE ON THE ROAD--AND ALONG WITH WINTER-WEATHER--THERE'S AN EVEN-GREATER POTENTIAL FOR ROADSIDE-EMERGENCIES. THAT'S WHY, ACCORDING TO "STATE FARM", IT’S ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO BE PREPARED FOR THE UNEXPECTED. YOU MAY CONSIDER DOING A "TRUNK TRANSFORMATION"--BY GETTING RID OF THE JUNK, AND REPLACING IT WITH ITEMS THAT CAN HELP IN THE EVENT OF A ROADSIDE-EMERGENCY. YOU SHOULD, FIRST OF ALL, ALWAYS HAVE AN EMERGENCY-KIT THAT INCLUDES A REFLECTIVE HAZARD-TRIANGLE OR ROAD-FLARE, JUMPER-CABLES, A FIRST-AID KIT, AND A FLASHLIGHT. IN ADDITION, SINCE MOTORISTS ARE OCCASIONALLY STRANDED, DON'T FORGET TO PACK HIGH-CALORIE, NON-PERISHABLE FOOD, BOTTLED WATER, AND CRUCIAL MEDICATIONS. IT’S ALSO A GOOD IDEA TO KEEP THEM IN A BAG OR CONTAINER--SO THAT, IF THEY'RE IN AN OPEN CARGO-AREA, THEY DON'T BECOME A PROJECTILE DURING A CRASH. FOR ADDITIONAL SAFETY-TIPS AND INFORMATION, SEE A "STATE FARM"-AGENT--OR VISIT "STATE-FARM"-DOT-COM.
