MOTORISTS REMINDED TO BE COGNIZANT OF WILDLIFE NEAR ROADWAYS

(SD&G) – SD&G OPP wish to remind motorists of the dangers of wildlife on roadways this time of year. More movement in the deer population results in the wild animals being near and crossing roadways in rural areas. Over the past weekend, SD&G OPP officers investigated a total of 10 vehicle/deer collisions on area roads.

Following simple driving techniques will reduce the chance of being involved in a collision;

– Be extra vigilant during morning (dawn) and evening (dusk) commutes as visibility is reduced and wildlife are more active. Reduce your speed accordingly

– Be aware of signage in areas known for deer crossing

– Deer seldom run alone, if you see one, chances are there will be more

– When safe to do so, use high beams when driving at night and scan the ditch area

– If you need to avoid deer on roadways, do not swerve, brake firmly and stay in your lane so not to lose control of your vehicle

– If you are in a collision with a deer, report same to police

By being a safe and cautious driver, fewer collisions occur, resulting in a reduction of injuries and lives saved.
