(Transportation-News.com, January 21, 2013 ) Woodhaven, MI – If one lives in the rural areas of Michigan, chances are they have hit a deer or know someone who has. Michigan ranks very high in the number of deer/auto collisions. As detailed on the Michigan State Police website, there are things that one can do to avoid deer/auto collisions and Collex’s Woodhaven auto body shop concurs.
• Stay aware, awake and sober.
• Vehicle-deer crashes occur year-round, but one should be especially alert in spring and fall
• Signs are placed at known deer crossing areas to alert the driver of the possible presence of deer, but deer will cross a road anywhere.
• Deer are herd animals and frequently travel in single file. If you see one deer cross the road, chances are there are more waiting. Slow down or stop if possible.
• Don't rely on gimmicks, flashing your high-beam headlights or honking your horn to deter deer doesn’t work and will probably spook them even more.
If a crash is unavoidable:
• Don't swerve! Brake firmly, hold onto the steering wheel and bring your vehicle to a controlled stop. Most times serious damage and injury is caused by a vehicle leaving the road and rolling over or hitting an object like a tree. • Pull off the road, turn on your emergency flashers and be cautious of other traffic if you leave your vehicle.
• Report the crash to the nearest police agency and your insurance company.
Remember to buckle up, as safety belts are motorist’s best defense in the event of a crash.
