Deer can appear on the road with little warning, especially near dawn and dusk. A collision can be stressful, but a few precautions can help protect you, your passengers, and others on the road.
Stay alert in areas with deer-crossing signs, slow down when visibility is limited, and remember that where there is one deer, others may be nearby. If a deer enters your path, brake firmly when it is safe to do so—swerving can create an even greater risk.
If you do strike a deer, move to a safe location if possible, contact the appropriate authorities, and document the damage for your claim.
