Roadside Safety Tips

Be prepared for the unexpected.

Keep a Full Tank

Refuel at the half-tank mark on long rural stretches — gas stations can be 50+ miles apart out West.

Pack an Emergency Kit

Jumper cables, flashlight, first-aid, water, blankets, and basic tools. A flat spare tire is non-negotiable.
