Winter weather can make driving in the Parkville, Perry Hall, and Towson areas challenging.

Here are a few tips from Jerry’s Collision Center to help you stay safe on the roads:

  • Check your tires: Ensure you have proper winter tires with adequate tread depth.
  • Top off fluids: Check and top off fluids like antifreeze, windshield washer fluid, and oil.
  • Clear all snow and ice: Before driving, completely remove snow and ice from your vehicle, including the roof, hood, and windows.
  • Increase following distance: Leave extra space between you and the vehicle in front of you to allow for increased stopping distance.
  • Avoid distractions: Put away your phone and focus on the road.
  • Slow down: Reduce your speed, especially on bridges and overpasses, which can freeze more quickly.
  • Be prepared for emergencies: Keep an emergency kit in your vehicle, including a blanket, jumper cables, a flashlight, and some non-perishable snacks.
