com/community-advocate-award . Wildlife on the road November is historically a bad month for crashes caused by wildlife. The Colorado State Patrol has offered tips to prevent them from becoming deadly.
Two of the most important things a motorist can do is to drive the speed limit and use your high beams when not around other motorists in rural areas or neighborhoods adjacent to open space areas. Increase your chances of seeing wildlife crossing up ahead or on the side of the road by staying alert. You can give yourself the time to adjust your speed or stop if no one is behind you.
Be prepared to make a tough decision when encountering animals. If you have time and no one behind you, you can sound your horn and slow down in a straight line, coming to a stop. However, if there is little time and traffic behind you, the right choice is to drive through, keeping in the lane, but with a slight angle towards the butt of the animal ONLY if by the white side lane line.
Never swerve or jerk the wheel..
