At dusk, a deer jumps into your lane close in front of you. You cannot stop in time, and a crash seems certain. What should you do?
At dusk, blue A approaches a deer in its own lane on a two-way road. No escape path is marked.
Correct answer: Brake hard, keep the car in your lane and stop under control
Why
Many serious deer crashes happen when drivers swerve and hit another vehicle or a fixed object. Be most alert at dusk and dawn, especially in the fall, and slow down when you see one deer, because others are often nearby. If you hit a large animal, report it to law enforcement.
