Winter Car Kits 101: Staying Safe on the Roads this Winter (Pt. 2)
Picking up from Winter Car Kits 101: Staying Safe on the Roads this Winter (Pt. 1), here, we will continue going over some of the important things to keep in winter car kits. By having the right kit in your car, you can stay safe if you end up being stranded on the road for any reason this winter season.
Winter Car Kits: Other Important Things to Include
Winter car kits should include things that can help you contact help and that can keep you safe while you wait for help to arrive.
In addition to tools for your vehicle and the snow, other important things to include in winter car kits will be items that can help you reach out for help and that can keep you warm and safe as you await help (if you are unable to get your car back on the road). In particular, these items can include (but are by no means limited to):
Things to get help – These can include an extra, fully charged cellphone, an extra cellphone battery and/or an extra cellphone charger. They can also include items like flares or small cones, which can be used to alert other motorists to your presence (and which may end up either getting other drivers to stop and help or others to call for help on your behalf).
Things to stay warm – Because you may end up waiting for hours for help to arrive (and because winter can bring freezing weather conditions), having some basic things to keep yourself (and others who may travel with you) warm can be essential to staying safe.In this regard, some of the items that you may want to include in your winter car kit (or that you may want to add to winter car kits that you buy from retailers) include (but, again, are by no means limited to):
A blanket
An extra jacket
Socks and/or an extra pair of boots
An extra hat and/or pair of winter gloves
Chemical heat packs.
Things to stay safe – Calling for help and staying warm are important, but you may need some additional items to keep you healthy and safe as you wait for help to get off of the side of a roadway. Some items that can keep you safe and healthy include medications that you regularly need (or that you may depend on, such as heart or allergy medications), as well as water and nonperishable foods (like energy bars, for instance).
We will point out some general tips for winter car kits in the upcoming conclusion to this blog series – be sure to check it out!

Amazing!! If your looking and for legal help look no further. Mike Bhar and his lovely assistant Lana are amazing. Prompt, compassionate and really know what they are doing. Our family went through hardships after being ran over while on a motorcycle. The team guided us through the process and truly served us justice when the courts failed to do so. Mike was reassuring and took away the anxiety I had throughout the whole process. We were able to get the help for my injuries that were really needed and help get us back on our feet. We will forever be grateful for the help recieved by Mike and Lana at Littleton Lawyers. The event was traumatic and left a dent in our lives that almost crashed everything we have built. Not sure where we would be without these fantastic people. Saved our family from the worst.
If your looking for honesty integrity and people that are passionate about what they do and will do it with confidence call Mike. I'll never call anyone else again for my legal troubles. Wonderful people that are human just like the rest of us. They will fight for you and everything that matters most. ❤️ Thank you guys again! The amount of gratitude I feel for these people simply can't be put into just one small review. Hopefully others that may be facing unfortunate hardships and need the legal help see this and make the call. Just do it!

Michael and Ben possess extensive knowledge of the insurance sector and will not hesitate to inform you if they believe the case lacks merit. Their guidance provided to our shared client during the legal consultation was exceptional. I highly recommend their services.

Michael Bahr is absolutely amazing! I was in a head on collision and after talking with several attorneys decided to go with Mike Bahr. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. He is compassionate, reasonable, and a good lawyer all together. I was able to claim the maximum benefits from both my insurance and the at-fault parties due to the extent of my injuries. When you are in an accident there is a lot of unknowns that add additional stress on top of trying to heal. Mike was able to answer all the questions I had and made sure I was focused on recovery. On top of just being an outstanding person and attorney he also was reasonably priced. Some attorneys are only in it for the money, but Mike Bahr genuinely seems like he wants to help people. He was extremely helpful during one of the most stressful times in my life and for that I couldn’t be more grateful. If you are ever involved in an accident I 100% would recommend reaching out to Mike Bahr.

Michael Bahr is downright the best lawyer in town! The most giving, detail oriented, and caring lawyer (if that exists). Would definitely recommend for any insurance related claims you are needing assistance with.

Mike and Ben both worked on my case against the seller of my house that did not disclose a mouse infestation. Both of them listened to my case and discussed possible strategies to help me win. They had very little time to prepare (roughly a month) between the mediation and the trial. They were both very sympathetic to what had been an incredibly stressful situation. Because of Ben and Mike's help I ended up winning my case and I am beyond grateful for their help.

This office is so amazing, I want to share my experience about these amazing two people we met, Michael Bahr and Renee Vigil, We reached out to them to get help with fighting for grandparents rights, Due to my Son Passed away and now the ex-daughter in law wants to restrict us from seeing our grandkids. We had hired an other lawyer who was top of the line Lawyer only to tap out of retainer fee of thousands of dollars to get really nowhere, When I met Michael and Renee I immediately felt the difference of them being Caring, Compassionate and felt they were not just lawyers but real people who felt my story. These 2 people are really there for you! I would refer them and consider them even only after a couple of visits at first they make you feel so comfortable to talk to. They have certainly have made us a friend of there's for life and don't need to ever! look for attorney else where if I ever need legal advice.
