Tips to avoid/survive deer accidents:

1) Be attentive, be aware. Scan the sides of the road, not just straight ahead (use your peripheral vision).

2. When you see deer (whether standing or moving), warning signs or simply suspect you may be driving through their habitat, slow down.

3) Use your high-beams (dim where appropriate).

4) DO NOT SWERVE to avoid a collision with a deer. A sudden loss of vehicle control is far more dangerous than animal impact. Brake and hold the wheel straight.

5) Do not stop in the middle of the road post-Bambicide. Move your vehicle off the road and out of [further] harm’s way as soon as possible.
