Winter driving can be scary– especially here in Colorado when you’re in the mountains. How many times have you been stuck on I-70 barely moving because of traffic? Then there are the scary shortcuts that we’ve all taken to get somewhere that just didn’t pan out.
According to the American Red Cross, you should have these three things in your car this winter.
