Another thought!  It's the holiday season and lots of folks driving are CRAZED!!

Leave yourself some extra time if you're going to travel. Even if you're just going to the mall.

Take your car to a mechanic/tire shop and have it inspected (AAA does this) before your embark.

Get new wipers! And if you're having to use your wipers, turn your headlights on, it's the law, and it's a smart thing to do.

Make sure you have AAA coverage, AAA Plus is really good!
