But if travel is unavoidable, here are some suggestions from AAA Iowa that increase your chances for a safe trip. Plan primary and alternate routes for the trip. Let friends or relalives know where you are going, when you are leaving, when you plan to arrive, and the routes you will take. Monitor road and weather With a beautiful blouse, reports. Take storms seriously. Seek sweater, coordinated outfit off-road shelter immediately and accessories when ice hits or when snow at becomes deep on the roadway or restricts your vision. If you become trapped in a storm, AAA lowa urges you and your passengers to stay in the vehicle. ~xposureto the elements could be fatal. Run the engine and heater just enough to keep from getting unbearably cold. Keep a win- dow slightly open and keep snow away from the tailpipe to allow exhaust gases to dissipate. These precautions will reduce the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning. Keep moving inside the car; clap your hands and periodical- ly flex your muscles. It's impor- tant to stay active and awake. Paae 5
