Most online shopping problems are easy to avoid. Seven simple habits that protect your money and your accounts.
A Car Kit for Northern Virginia Commutes
Between I-495, I-66 and Route 7, most of us spend a lot of time in the car. A few things in the trunk make a breakdown much less stressful.
A charged jump starter
A lithium jump starter restarts a dead battery without a second car. Recharge it every few months so it’s ready when you need it.
A tire inflator
Tire pressure drops as temperatures fall. A cordless inflator lets you top up at home, using the pressure printed on the driver’s door jamb.
Light
Rechargeable flashlights help if you’re stopped after dark or need to check under the hood.
The basics
- Water and a few snacks.
- A phone charging cable.
- A warm layer in winter.
- Your insurance and roadside assistance numbers.
Stay safe
If you break down, move off the road if you can, turn on your hazard lights and stay clear of traffic while you wait for help.
