🦌 As if the upcoming time change wasn’t dangerous enough…
We’re also heading into rut season when deer throw caution (and common sense) to the wind. During rut, bucks are more active, distracted, and not exactly watching for traffic. They’re focused on one thing and it’s not oncoming cars.
Here’s how you can help keep yourself, your car, & wildlife safe:
• Slow down, especially on rural or wooded roads.
• Watch for eye shine along the roadside.
• If you see a deer run across the road, expect at least one other to be following!
• Stay on high alert at dawn and dusk.
• Don’t swerve. Brake firmly and stay in your lane.
Let’s get everyone home safely this season. 💚
