COULD YOU and your
passengers survive being
stranded in one of those
severe winter storms?

Every year, we hear about
the plight of motorists
caught on the road in bliz-
zards. The results can be
traumatic, if not fatal.

To help survive such situ-
ations, your car shoud be
kept in top operating condi-
tion. To this end, the Car
Care Council of the
Automotive Association of
Canada has developed this
six-point checklist:

1. Battery and Electrical

and only 33 per cent efficient
at -23°C (-10°F).

If your car has been slow
to start, have the battery and
charging system checked.
Often you may find the
trouble is no more serious
than a corroded or loose
battery connection.

“OK to drive."*

“With Road Safe Certifi-
cates, parents can make sure
their youngsters never have
io ride with a drinking
driver, no matter where or
when the situation comes
up,’ Brown says, *‘And of
course, what's good for the
kids is good for the parents
too!”’

Because the certificates are
usable only for taxi fare,
having them on hand means
never being strandzd by be-
ing out of cash.

Taxi gift certificates make good sense

taxi companies, supporting
sponsors and the media for
the success of the program.
‘“*The Vancouver Taxi
Owner's Association,
CKN‘W Radio and other
sponsors joined forces with
ICBC and CounterAttack —
a program of the Govern-
ment of B.C., to ensure that
Road Safe was properly
funded and promoted,’’
Brown says.

“The real pay-off comes
every time someone sets
aside their car keys because
they remember those Road
Safe certificates in their
wallet or purse ... and they
know there is a safe ride
home in their pockets.’
