Excuse me deer, please do not cross the road right now! Don't you just wish animals would look both ways before crossing the road! Unfortunately, drivers cannot prevent animals from crossing the road, the best they can do is exercise caution.
Use your high beams: Wildlife is usually active during the dusk and dawn hours, so use your high beams to increase visibility of the animals.
Heed warning signs: When there's a wildlife crossing sign.... well that means there is usually wildlife crossing in that area!
Stick to the middle lane: If you're on a multi-lane road, staying in the middle lane may give you more time to spot an animal that may be crossing ahead of you.
Know what to do if an accident occurs: If you hit an animal, pull over and call local law enforcement. Maintain a good distance from the animal since they may panic.
Get home safely: If you hit an animal, don't assume your car is safe to drive. Look for any leaks, loose parts, broken lights and tire damage. If you spot issues or if your vehicle seems unsafe, have the car towed.
