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
