watch for wildlife
Motorists are reminded to stay vigilant on the road, especially during dusk and dawn, and be on the lookout for deer.
Police said being aware and taking precautions can reduce collisions, save lives and protect wildlife.
The following tips are recommended:
– Scan the road ahead from shoulder to shoulder for any movement;
– Use high beams at night, when possible, and watch for the glowing eyes of animals;
– If an animal is crossing the road, stop as safely as possible in your lane;
– Remember, if one animal crosses the road, others may follow;
– Never swerve suddenly. This may cause you to lose control of your vehicle, resulting in a more serious collision.
