Driving and Deer on the Road

 

Did You Know?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that nearly one-quarter of all animal and vehicle crashes result in some form of bodily injury or vehicle damage. Whether you’re driving in the city or the country, here are some tips to keep you safe on the road.

Beware of Deer on the road.  Animal and vehicle collisions are especially commonplace between October and December.  Drivers should be aware of this danger and take necessary precautions to remain accident free.

-Remain alert at all times and watch out for animals.

-Slow down if you see an animal up ahead, as it is generally unpredictable.

-Slow down at designated animal crossing areas marked by road signs.  These signs indicate that the area has a lot of animal traffic and an increased potential for accidents

-Use your high beams at night, when safe, to see animals easier.

-Watch your speed, especially during dusk and at night.

-Have your vehicle's brakes and tires checked regularly to ensure that they are in safe working order.

-Watch out for movement and shiny eyes on the roadsides.  Slow down if you see anything suspicious.

-If you see an animal in front of you, do not swerve because it may cause you to hit another vehicle, side rail, or lose control all together.  BRAKE!

-Slow down on blind curve areas of the roadway.

-Always wear your seat belt, it really is your best safety defense.

In the event that your vehicle does hit into an animal:

-Pull off to the side of the road and call for help from your local or state police department.

-Do not attempt to move the animal if it is lying in the middle of the road.

-Do not leave your vehicle to check on an injured animal, as it may still be alive and potentially dangerous to you.

We hope you found this helpful.  Remember, our office is here to help with filing a claim for your vehicle if you hit an animal on the road, or to answer any questions you might have about your insurance coverage, deductibles, or circumstances.  Call our office at 724.453.1122 and we will be happy to help.  Please drive safely!
