Great tips on safe driving during the fall and early winter months. They mention Do not swerve and to stay in your lane when confronted with a deer in the road. This is not only great advice for your safety; but also if you hit a deer, your comprehensive deductible applies to your damages. If hou swerve and hit another car or run off the road into a ditch or a tree, your injuries could be severe and your collision deductible applies to your vehicle damages. Often times, clients set their collision deductible higher than their comprehensive. So hitting the deer is less likely to cause injury and cost you less money.

🦌 As if the upcoming time change wasn’t dangerous enough…

We’re also heading into rut season when deer throw caution (and common sense) to the wind. During rut, bucks are more active, distracted, and not exactly watching for traffic. They’re focused on one thing and it’s not oncoming cars.

Here’s how you can help keep yourself, your car, & wildlife safe:

• Slow down, especially on rural or wooded roads.
• Watch for eye shine along the roadside.
• If you see a deer run across the road, expect at least one other to be following!
• Stay on high alert at dawn and dusk.
• Don’t swerve. Brake firmly and stay in your lane.

Let’s get everyone home safely this season. 💚
