Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
It is dusk in November, and you drive on a wooded rural road. A deer runs across the road ahead of you and into the trees. What should you do?
Correct answer: Slow down and watch for more deer, because deer often travel in groups
Why
Deer are most active at dawn and dusk, when it is also harder for drivers to see. About two-thirds of deer crashes happen in October, November and December, when deer move the most. When you see deer near the road, flash your headlights or use your hazard lights to warn other drivers.
