SAFETY MONDAY
Deer Collisions
Deer are most active, due to their mating season, from October – December. Over 1 million
deer collisions occur annually, causing 200 fatalities and $4 billion in vehicle damage.
• Deer generally travel in herds — if you see one, slow down, there are like others
nearby.
• Be aware of posted deer crossing signs. These are placed in active deer
crossing areas.
• Remember deer are most active between 6 pm and 9 pm and also in the early
morning.
• Use high beam headlamps as much as possible to illuminate the areas from
which deer will enter roadways.
• Avoid distracted driving. Being alert can allow you to react quickly.
• If a deer collision seems inevitable, hold your course, attempting to swerve out
of the way could cause you to lose control of your vehicle or place you in the
path of an oncoming vehicle.
• Don't rely on car–mounted deer whistles.

LUNES DE SEGURIDAD
Colisiones con Ciervos
El período de mayor actividad de los ciervos es de octubre a diciembre, ya que es su
época de apareamiento. Se registran más de 1 millón de colisiones con ciervos al año,
causando 200 fatalidades y $4 billones en daños a vehículos.
• Los ciervos suelen viajar en manadas - si ve uno, baje la velocidad, dado que puede
haber otros cerca.
• Esté atento a las señales de cruce de ciervos. Estas se encontrarán en zonas donde
es usual que los ciervos crucen.
• Recuerde que el período de mayor actividad de los ciervos es de 6 pm a 9 pm y
temprano por la mañana.
• Utilice las luces altas cuando sea posible para iluminar las zonas por las que los
ciervos ingresarán a la carretera.
• Evite las distracciones al conducir. Mantenerse alerta le permitirá reaccionar
rápidamente.
• Si la colisión con un ciervo parece inevitable mantenga su curso. Dar un volantazo
para evitarlo podría causar la pérdida de control del vehículo, o podría colocarlo en
el camino de otro vehículo.
• No dependa de los silbatos para ciervos montados en los vehículos.
