As the sun starts to set earlier and the temperature get’s colder, drivers may notice more deer and other wildlife on the roadway.
Veering for wildlife on roads could cost you dearly.
With the sun setting earlier and the nights getting colder, drivers may notice more wildlife on roadways, especially deer. Motorists need to remember the old adage - don't veer for deer.
Swerving to avoid the collision could cause the driver to lose control, and in some cases even flip the vehicle. The best defence is to always be aware when driving, especially late at night and early in the morning, and constantly scan for signs of wildlife - moving shadows and reflections from eyes are two big indicators to watch out for.
