Tips for Holiday Motorists: • Bealertwhenpassingthroughadeercrossingzone.Remember: the signs were put there for a reason. • Drive cautiously during early evening and early morning hours when deer are active. Even in urban and suburban areas rush hour commuters should be particularly alert for animals. • Always wear your seat belt. Most people injured in deer-related crashes were not buckled up. • If you see a deer on the road, slow down and blow your horn to scare it away. Deer often fixate on headlights, so it may not be effective to just flash your lights. • Look for other deer after one has crossed the road. Deer seldom run alone. • If unable to stop to avoid hitting a deer, do not swerve. It is better to hit the deer head-on. The most serious injuries to motorists or passengers occur when a driver swerves to avoid a deer but hits a fixed object or moving car. Ideally, to reduce damage and likelihood of injury, a motorist should brake until just before the point of impact, then accelerate to lift the hood and prevent the animal from flying up onto the windshield. • If you hit a deer, don’t touch it. If it is alive it may be dangerous. Call the state or local police to the accident. • Immediately report any damage to your insurance agent.
