If you 're someone from the south region and about to go west or north during the winter months then there should be some winter driving conditions that you just should bear in mind of before you begin your trip. Of course, you will want to take an emergency car care kit that will have flashes and a radio and highlighted triangles so they can put in the back tracks of your cars so other cars will see you when they come your way. You may also want to carry a flashlight, a warm blanket, and some kitty litter or rock salt. These times help you if you get stuck in the snow. If you do you can either use the kitty litter or salt to melt or cover the snow area so that you can get traction with your tires to get you out of the track you may be stuck
