I'll never forget when I got my driver's license. I was eager to hit the road. Before I ran to my car and pulled out of my house, my uncle gave me a bunch of things that I needed for my car.

I looked at him slightly puzzled. He handed me a toolbox, flashlight, and some jumper cables. That was incredibly kind of him.

Colorado Is Different Than Other States

Driving conditions are a lot different in Colorado than in warmer climates such as Arizona. I would say that every single person needs to have an ice scraper in their vehicle and it is by far one of the biggest essentials.

We do not need you rushed in the morning and hanging your head out of the window like in Ace Ventura.

That is dangerous and I see far too many people driving in Colorado without their windshield defrosted. It is a bit of a pet peeve for me.

Additionally, when it snows in Colorado, please remove all of the snow from the top of your vehicle so it doesn't fall all over the road.
