<\/a>With deer season upon us, your chances of hitting a deer are much higher during fall months. Stay safe while on the road with these tips from the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center.<\/p>\n1. Be cautious while driving during dusk or dawn<\/h2>\n
Deer are most active during sunrise and sunset, especially during mating season, which is in full swing from October through December. Ensure that you and your passengers are wearing seat belts at all times, even in the back seat, just in case you have to make a sudden stop.<\/p>\n
2. Pay attention to deer crossing signs<\/h2>\n
Be alert and observe your surroundings for any signs of wildlife while on the road. Deer are abundant in forested areas, but may wander into suburban neighborhoods in search of food, so it\u2019s important to drive cautiously even if you\u2019re no longer in a deer-crossing zone.<\/p>\n
3. Stay alert if you spot a deer<\/h2>\n
Deer tend to travel in packs \u2013 so if you see one deer, slow down and proceed with caution. Even if you spot a deer on the side of the road or surrounding areas, remember that there could be others about to cross your path.<\/p>\n
4. Take precautions when driving at night<\/h2>\n
Nighttime driving can put a strain on the eyes, so be safe by driving at a moderate speed. If there is no oncoming traffic, turn on your high beams: You\u2019ll not only be able to see clearer, but you\u2019ll have a greater chance of spotting a deer from a distance<\/p>\n
5. Don\u2019t swerve to avoid hitting a deer<\/h2>\n
Do not swerve to avoid a deer collision. By swerving you put yourself at risk for a worse collision with another vehicle or running off the road. Stay in your lane and try to slow down.<\/p>\n
6. Get comprehensive coverage for your car<\/h2>\n
Did you know that physical damage to your car as a result of something other than a collision with another vehicle might not be covered by standard car insurance? With comprehensive car insurance, you will receive additional coverage and protection for car accidents involving animals.<\/p>\n
7. Report the deer-vehicle collision<\/h2>\n
If your car hits a deer, contact your local authorities and insurance company to\u00a0file a claim.<\/p>\n
Now that you know what steps to take to minimize deer-related car accidents while on the road, be sure to check out our safe driving tips<\/a> for more helpful tips!<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
