State Farm Offers Tips on Summer Safety and Giveaway!

With 4^th of July right around the corner and drivers gearing up to hit the road for vacation, State Farm has summer driving safety reminders to share, and a list of essential roadside items drivers should have in their vehicle in case of an emergency: http://st8.fm/wEt. 

During the hot summer months, it is important to remember to make sure vehicles are properly equipped with roadside emergency supplies to help keep families safe this summer.
Before logging all those miles on your family road trip this summer, remember to:

• Beat the Heat: Inspect the radiator, pressure cap, belts, and hoses to make sure they are in good shape with no signs of blisters, cracks, or cuts in the rubber.
• Hydrate Your Vehicle: Check fluid levels: brake, automatic transmission, power steering, windshield washer and coolant. Make sure each reservoir is full and if you see any sign of fluid leakage, take your vehicle in to be serviced.
