"As we emerge from the empty roads at the beginning of the pandemic to the current 'revenge travel' we're seeing this summer, it's important for today's drivers to invest in the tools to feel safe and confident behind the wheel – whether it's a dash cam, jump starter, or anything else for those 'just in case moments."
