AMARILLO, TEXAS -- This winter weather comes with slippery roads and hazardous driving conditions, and that's bad for most of us, but good for the auto repair business.
Since the snowstorm last week, Potter County has seen 161 wrecks, but the people at Bernard's Collision say more cars drove in with damage from yesterday's storm than from last week's.
Bernard's Co-Owner Terence Bernard said, "This morning phones were ringing off the hook and we've had eight cars dropped off immediately which is a lot for one small storm." Bernard went on to say an average for a winter storm is two to three cars. He said people may have been more fearful of driving in last Thursday's storm because of all the media hype.
Some good advice: Even in light snow conditions drive with care, leave your headlights on and allow plenty of brake time in between your car and others on the road.
