    My mother just sent me an email today... its too late for you but maybe for others

    Autumn brings a distinct change in deer behavior. During this time of year drivers should be particularly cautious. The passiveness of spring and summer is gone, replaced by the frenzy of wandering deer. Mature bucks become aggressive and roam widely in search of other deer. Deer become most active and unpredictable during the fall season. At this time of year, deer are much more likely to dart into roadways without warning. Drivers need to be extra alert to avoid collisions that could result in serious injuries or even death. According to the Insurance Information Institute, over 1.6 million deer-vehicle collisions occur each year. These accidents result in vehicle damage, injuries and sometimes fatalities at a cost of about $4.6 billion. In addition, the recent disaster activity in the Northeast adds to the importance of driving cautiously.
    Caution when driving is particularly important during the morning and evening commutes when visibility may be poor and deer are more active. Triggered by shorter days and cooler weather, deer disperse and move around more as they search for other deer. Deer behavior is likely to be sudden and unpredictable. Deer movements will pick up in the coming weeks as temperatures cool and breeding season begins. Commuters should be especially alert when daylight saving time ends -- November 6th. Please remember to set your clocks and change your smoke detector batteries. Normal driving times will be more closely aligned with peak deer activity periods after this time. For winter driving, we offer the following safe driving tips:
    · If you spot a deer, slow down and pay attention to sudden movements. If the deer doesn’t move, do not go around it. Wait until the deer passes and the road is clear.
    · Pay attention to “deer crossing” signs.
    · Use your car’s high beams when there is no oncoming traffic. High beams are reflected in the deer’s eyes.
    · If you see one deer, watch for others. Deer are pack animals. Be assured if there is one, then others are usually close by.
    · Items like deer whistles, deer fences and reflectors have not been proven effective at deterring deer crossing roadways.
    · Do not tailgate. The driver in front of you may have to stop suddenly to avoid a deer.
    · Wear your seat belt.
    · If a collision with a deer is inevitable, do not swerve to avoid impact. The deer may counter-maneuver suddenly. Brake firmly, but stay in your lane. Collisions are more likely to be fatal if a driver swerves to avoid a deer and instead collides with oncoming traffic or a fixed structure.
    · Immediately report any deer-vehicle collision to a law enforcement agency. If you strike a deer and have damage to your vehicle, or damage to some else’s property, notify your insurance representative as soon as possible and provide necessary details.
    · If you do strike a deer, don’t approach it. An injured deer is frightened and can injure you as well as further injuring itself. If the deer is blocking the roadway, it poses a threat to other drivers; so call the authorities immediately.

    Always remember, be safe, be aware and be prepared. We care about you. Let’s all have a safe holiday season.

    1. Mount cow catcher to front of grand prix.

    2. When deer is seen, floor gas pedal until speed limiter is hit.

    3. Upon impact watch deer go flying through the air and into the windshield
    of the car behind you.

    4. Be content to know that your man card is still intact

    The biggest one is

    · If a collision with a deer is inevitable, do not swerve to avoid impact

    Its amazing how stupid people are and think swerving at 45 (or even 70 if on a highway) is a good idea.
