When your windshield starts blurring when you turn the wipers on, dampen a cloth or rag with some full-strength white vinegar and run it down the full length of each blade once or twice.
Be very cautious
Be very cautious in light rain or mist. Oil and dirt on the roadway surface make driving extra slippery.
Essential Tools for Your Roadside Safety Kit
A roadside safety kit contains items that are helpful if a car stalls or experiences a problem such as a flat tire. Depending on the size of the roadside safety kit, some of its tools may include a wrench, pliers, jumper cables, flashlight, tire gauge, and reflectors. When a person is driving in the winter months a gathering of roadside safety items may also include an ice scraper and kitty litter to help with traction if the car is stuck in the snow. Every item in a roadside safety kit serves a particular purpose.
Battery
Most batteries today are "maintenance free" which simply means that you can't check the water level. This doesn't mean however, that there is nothing to check. The main things to check are the top of the battery which should be clean and dry, and the terminal connections which should be clean and tight. If the top of the battery continuously becomes damp or corroded soon after cleaning, then have the charging system and battery checked by your mechanic.
