Roadside Tips for Minnesota Drivers

Plain-spoken advice for cold starts, flat tires, lockouts and winter driving in the Twin Cities.

A small bin in your trunk can turn a long, cold wait into a manageable one. Here's what Minnesota drivers should keep in the car all winter.

The first frosty morning, the tire light comes on, but the tires look fine. Here's what's happening and when to worry.

You press the button and nothing happens. Before you panic, most cars have a backup way in, and a way to start even with a dead fob.

A flat on a fast, busy freeway is stressful. The tire matters less than getting you and your passengers into a safe spot.

The first real cold snap is when weak batteries give up. A little prep in the fall can keep you from a dead car at the worst moment.

That sound your car makes when you turn the key at -10°F tells you a lot. Here's how to read it before you call for help.
