Burlington, IA-  As heavy or drifting snow may greet drivers this winter, AAA is advising drivers to allow extra time to get to a travel destination. If it is not safe and you don’t have to travel, AAA advises drivers to not drive.

Preparing for frigid weather conditions will help keep your vehicle on the road. Drivers can help keep their vehicles on the road by ensuring scheduled maintenance is completed. A routine inspection of battery, brakes, belts, hoses, oil, fluids, tires, and other vehicle systems can help prevent inconvenient and costly breakdowns.
