Explanation
If an animal runs across the road, do not swerve into oncoming traffic or off the roadway to avoid hitting it. Instead, if there are no vehicles close behind, brake hard without locking your wheels and stop if it’s safe. If a collision is inevitable, try to keep your vehicle under control and stay on the roadway. Generally, it is best to drive with extra caution at dawn and dusk, on roads marked with animal crossing signs, and near woods and water.
