On the road again Before the family sets off for a road trip, do a complete tire check, including tire pressure and tread wear on your spare. Make sure that fluids are filled up and that wipers and headlights are in good shape. Bring along a road trip emergency kit just in case Ñ a blanket that can also double as a picnic blanket, flashlight, batteries, reflective warning signs, extra windshield-wiper fluid, booster cables, tire jack, a nylon tow rope, gloves and wet wipes. Carry emergency numbers, i.e., for road assistance, insurance or your family doctor. Worst case scenario of a flat tire? Get to the side of the road as far from traffic as possible. Find a level stretch of ground to jack up your car. Turn off the engine, turn on the hazard flashers, and place three reflective warning signs or flares behind your carÑthe first, 10 feet out from the back fender. Make sure to get the kids away from the car to a place where they can wait it out at a safe distance. -NC
