Roadside emergencies are never a good time, but they can be especially hard to handle during the winter months in Shelburne, VT. Our team here at MINI of Burlington recommends taking the time to make a winter survival kit to be prepared for whatever winter driving throws at you.
Staying warm is critical when dealing with an emergency. If your car does not start, you will need to rely on what you have packed in your kit to survive. You need to have an insulated jacket, warm gloves, and winter boots at minimum. Thick socks are also a good idea to make sure your feet stay warm, and adding a few blankets if you have the space is smart as well.
Having water in your car in case of an emergency is important year-round. You should also have a flashlight and extra batteries, plus a way to charge your phone if your car doesn't start.
