Video: Car Preparation

Getting your car ready for emergency weather is an important way to stay safe.  PREPARATION IS KEY!  Earlier this week, Gregg Laskoski, Managing Director for AAA Auto Club South, went shopping with me to help me prepare for my first hurricane season.  Below is a complete list of Gregg’s recommendations from AAA.  And remember, driving in bad weather should only be a last resort. Gregg reminds us that just a few inches of water can carry a car away and causing dangerous hydroplaning.
