Where you will see it
Rural highways through farmland and forest, where deer often cross.
What to do when you see it
- 1.Slow down and scan both sides of the road ahead for animals.
- 2.Take extra care at dusk and dawn, when animals move to feed and are hardest to see.
- 3.At night, watch for sudden spots of light: your headlights reflecting off an animal's eyes. If you see one animal, expect more.
On the knowledge test
The guide calls animals on the road a major hazard in B.C. Answers about dusk and dawn, scanning the roadsides and animals travelling in groups are all on the right track.
