How to Avoid Collisions with Deer this Fall

Wisconsin is known for many things – one of them being deer. As we approach Fall, it’s important to refresh on what we can do to avoid a collision with a deer.

• Be alert. If you see an animal on the side of the road, slow down. At night when traffic allows, put on your high beams for improved visibility.
• Brake, don’t swerve. Swerving to avoid an animal can put you at risk for hitting another vehicle or losing control of your car. Instead, slow down as quickly and safely as possible.
• Assume they have friends. “Where there’s one, there are usually more” often holds true. Deer travel in groups, so if you see one run across the road, expect others to follow.
