Safe and Happy New Year:

New Year's is the time of year when we all feel a little nicer, a bit more cheery, and in general happier. It is a time to enjoy family and friends, many of whom we see very infrequently. New Year's is a time to celebrate and welcome 2014. While you are out you should remember a few thing in case something unforeseen happens.

It is a good idea to have an emergency kit in the trunk of you vehicle. If you have a flat tire or have an accident there are items like reflector or flares that will help alert other driver to you presence. It is also wise to put an extra coat and blanket so you can keep warm if the engine cannot run. Finally, keeping your cell phone on a full charge while on the road could help keep you connected to those that are coming to assist you.

Even though this is a fun time of year there is no reason to go unprepared. Please have a Safe and Happy New Year!
