与动物相撞的可能性有多大?

你能避开车灯里的鹿(和其他动物)吗?

不断增长的鹿和其他动物种群, 再加上动物栖息地的迁移, are making it more dangerous on the road, and making driver crashes more likely. State Farm报告的前5大动物碰撞事故是:鹿(1,288,714), unidentified animals (207,373), rodents (94,805), dogs (55,005) and raccoons (52,054).

也许没有真正的办法让动物远离道路, 但这些重要的安全提示可以帮助防止动物袭击.

Tips to avoid animals on the road

• Stay alert. Pay attention to "deer crossing" 还有“野生动物过境”的标志，在靠近树林或水域的地方要小心.
• Use high beams. 把你的远光灯轻拍在路上的动物可能会导致动物跑开. High beams also help illuminate dark roads.
• Don't swerve. 如果车祸不可避免，保持对车辆的控制，不要驶离道路.
• Brake as necessary. If you can avoid hitting the animal, reduce your speed, 按喇叭和踩刹车提醒其他司机. 如果后面没有司机，就用力刹车.
• Remember peak season. 动物碰撞最多发生在10月到12月，这是狩猎和交配的季节.
• Remember meal time. 在黄昏和黎明之间注意路上的动物.
• Watch for herds. 如果你看到一只鹿，附近可能还有更多.
• Don't use a whistle. 没有科学证据支持车载鹿笛有效.
• Wear seat belts. 一定要遵守车速限制，系好安全带.
