Chatham-Kent Police are reminding drivers to watch for wildlife while behind the wheel.
Be especially mindful during dusk and dawn, which is when most collisions with deer occur.
The Chatham-Kent Police Service offers the following tips:
- Use high beams at night, when possible, and watch for the glowing eyes of animals.
- If an animal is crossing the road, stop as safely as possible, in your lane.
- Remember, if one animal crosses the road, others may follow.
- Never swerve suddenly. This may cause you to lose control of your vehicle, resulting in a more serious collision.
