“Motorists are reminded to be more vigilant on our roads, especially during dusk and dawn, which is when most collisions with deer occur,” police said in a media release.
Being aware and taking precautions can reduce collisions, save lives and protect wildlife, police added. Police offer these tips for drivers:
– 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.
