 Nearly 185,000 South Dakotans are expected to hit the road for the upcoming Independence Day holiday. Sean Stewart of AAA South Dakota is encouraging drivers to make sure their vehicles are ready for the road. Batteries and tires are two of the top reasons we get called for emergency roadside service. So make sure that your tires are in good shape, have good tread, and are properly inflated. He also says to be alert behind the wheel and expect more vehicles on the road than usual.
