Driving Tips to Avoid Hitting a Deer


  • Keep a close watch for deer in the early morning and evening hours. Deer are most active during these times.

  • Be especially alert and drive with caution when you are moving through a known deer crossing zone.

  • Use your high-beam headlights whenever possible.

  • Upon seeing a deer, immediately slow down. Do not swerve - because this can confuse deer as to where to run. It could also cause you to lose control and hit a tree or another car.

  • Look for other deer after one has crossed the road. Deer are often found in herding packs.

  • Always wear your seatbelt. Most people injured and/or killed in deer - automobile collisions were not wearing their seat belt.
