We would like to remind motorists to use extra caution when travelling during dawn and dusk hours, when wildlife are more active and most collisions occur.
Being aware and taking precautions can reduce collisions, save lives and protect wild animals:
– Scan the road ahead, from shoulder to shoulder
– Use high beams at night, when possible, to watch for glowing eyes of animals
– If you see one animal cross the road, expect to see more as others may follow
– Stop as safely as possible. Never swerve suddenly as this could cause you to lose control of your vehicle and result in a more serious collision
