Explanation
The instruction to slow down and proceed with caution is crucial. Animals may behave unexpectedly, darting across the road suddenly. The unpredictable nature of animal behavior can pose risks to both the driver and the animal. By being very cautious, drivers can anticipate potential hazards, reduce speed, and take necessary evasive actions. Slowing down not only provides the driver with more reaction time but also minimizes the severity of any potential impact.
