Recommendations to avoid deer-involved collisions

- Keep an eye out for deer, particularly at dawn and dusk as deer are most active at those times

- Always wear a seat belt

- When in densely deer-populated areas, slow down

- If motorists spot one deer, other deer could be nearby

- If motorists spot one deer, they often travel in a single file, so keep an eye out for additional deer attempting to traverse roadways

- When deer are startled by vehicles, they often panic, darting from any direction, so be on the lookout

- If a collision with a deer is unavoidable, bear down on the brake and hold onto the steering wheel with both hands until the vehicle is stopped, then attempt to steer off the roadway
