Crashing into a large animal can cause damage and injury, not only to the animal but also to you and your passengers. To help prevent a collision with an animal, scan the sides of the roadway ahead for animals and watch for animal crossing signs. Slow down in these areas. Be extra cautious at dusk and dawn, because animals are most likely to move around to feed during these times. At night, look for sudden, unusual spots of light on the roadway. This may be the reflection of your headlights off an animal’s eyes.
