Stay Calm
Use Common Sense
Utilize your "Winter
Travel Kit"
Avoid overexertion
Run your engine as
little as possible to stay warm.
Keep the downwind
window opened slightly to bring in fresh air and prevent a carbon
monoxide build-up in your vehicle. This is also important when
burning a candle or other substance for heat or light.
Keep your exhaust
pipes clear of snow so exhaust fumes will not be trapped in
your vehicle.
If traveling with
someone, take turns keeping watch. Someone in the vehicle should
be awake at all times to signal help when it nears, since your
vehicle may not be completely visible to search teams.
Tie the bright colored
material from your Winter Travel Kit to your antenna.
Do not accept a ride
from a stranger. Instead, ask that individual to notify a law
enforcement organization of the situation.
Leave the vehicle
only with a law enforcement office in a marked patrol car.
Remember if you cannot
stop to assist a stranded motorist you can and should call ahead
to the police or highway patrol.
