How to Avoid an Animal Collision

Consider these tips to help reduce your chances of an animal collision:
 Deer tend to travel in herds, so if you see one, lookout for more that may follow.

 Keep an eye out for deer signs. They are placed at known deer-crossing areas. Reduce your speed when
you see a sign.


 Animals tend to be active during dawn and dusk so be extra-conscious during these times. Stay cautious
and watch your speed.

 Make sure your headlights are in working order to ensure you see well at night. Using high beams can help you spot wildlife but be considerate of other drivers when using them.

 Stay focused while driving. Do NOT text, talk on your phone or allow passengers to distract you.

 Always wear your seat belt. This won’t prevent a collision but it can save your life depending upon the severity of the accident.
