Here are some essential tips to help you stay safe:
- Watch for Increased Deer Activity in Fall: Fall is deer mating season, making them more likely to roam near roads. Stay alert while driving, especially in areas with deer crossing signs indicating high populations.
- Remain Extra Cautious at Dawn and Dusk: Deer are most active during these times. If possible, avoid driving at dawn or dusk. If you must drive, ensure your headlights are on to catch the reflection of deer eyes, helping you spot them sooner.
- Watch for Groups: If you see one deer, slow down as there are likely more nearby. Deer usually travel in groups, so expect more to cross the road.
- Stay Calm and Avoid Swerving: When a deer is in your path, stay calm and honk your horn to scare it off. Avoid swerving, as this can lead to a more serious accident or collision with another vehicle.
By following these tips, you can reduce your risk of an accident and stay safe during the fall season.
