Explanation
If an animal suddenly runs out in front of your vehicle and a collision is inevitable, you must not swerve to avoid hitting it. Instead, focus on keeping your vehicle under control and on the roadway. You should only brake hard to try to avoid the animal if you are certain there are no vehicles behind you. If the crash involves a large animal, such as a bear, deer, or farm animal, report it to the police.
