Deer Aware

IF YOU HIT A DEER, KNOW WHAT TO DO! ✅ Park safely and use hazard lights. ✅ Call 999 if anyone is injured or the deer is blocking the road. ✅ Never approach an injured deer or put an injured deer in your car. #DeerSafety #RoadSafety #SafeDriving #WildlifeAwareness #DriveSafe

Don't Swerve for Deer If a deer runs out, brake firmly and stay in your lane. Swerving risks losing control or colliding with another vehicle. Most deer impacts cause less harm than a high-speed swerve. Keep control, brake straight, and stay calm. #RoadSafety #DriveSafe

Dawn and Dusk Low light makes deer hard to spot and they’re most active just when visibility is reduced. Use high beams where safe and look out for eyeshine at the roadside. Slowing down slightly in half-light conditions gives you more time to react and avoid harm. #RoadSafety

Look for the Signs Warning signs show where collisions are most common. Even if you drive the same route daily, stay alert. Where you see the signs, reduce speed, scan verges, and use full beams when safe. A few seconds of extra awareness can make all the difference. #RoadSafety

Where there’s one deer, there’s often more. If you see one deer crossing, slow down, others may follow close behind. Collisions often happen when drivers speed up too soon after the first animal passes. #DeerSafety #RoadSafety #AnimalCrossing #DriveSafe #SlowDownForDeer
