The American Automobile Association (AA) has advised that drivers should check their car for tire pressure, which can often be overlooked. The AA recommends using a tire gauge to check pressure, but some machines may be inaccurate due to weather exposure or heavy use. Maintaining adequate tread depth is crucial for vehicle safety, particularly during spring rain. The Red Cross recommends carrying basic emergency supplies, including a spare tire, jumper cables, a first-aid kit, and check oil, coolant and windshield washer fluid levels before traveling.
