Animals on the road
Collisions with deer, moose and other animals are a real risk on Ontario roads. The G1 test expects you to know how to lower that risk and react if an animal appears.
Key facts to remember
- ◆ Wildlife is most active and hardest to see at dawn, dusk, and after dark.
- ◆ Slow down and scan the ditches and roadside where wildlife signs are posted.
- ◆ If one animal crosses, expect others to follow.
- ◆ Brake firmly and stay in your lane rather than swerving into oncoming traffic.
- ◆ Use high beams on dark rural roads when no other vehicles are near.
