At dusk on a two-lane road, a deer steps into your lane close ahead. A car comes toward you in the other lane, and you cannot stop in time. What gives you the best chance of avoiding serious injury?
At dusk, deer C stands close ahead of blue A in its lane while silver B approaches in the other lane.
Correct answer: Brake firmly, keep control of the car in your own lane, and do not swerve.
Why
Deer are most active at dawn and dusk and in the fall, and where you see one deer there are often others. Scan the road edges for eyes that shine in your headlights, and use high beams when no car is near. Report a crash with a deer or a farm animal to the police.
