LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – AAA is predicting that 1.7 million Michiganders will hit the road during the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
Even if you aren’t leaving town for the holiday, AAA says it’s smart to double check a few things to ensure safe travels.
- Check tires to ensure adequate pressure and tread.
- Make sure the spare tire is in good condition.
- Pump your brakes and listen for any unusual sounds.
- If you hear a grinding sound or feel a vibration when you apply the brakes, take them to a mechanic for an inspection.
- Top off the engine oil.
- Restock supplies in your emergency kit, which should include a flashlight battery, drinking water, and non-perishable food for you and your pets.
