The following driving tips can help save lives:

• Be Alert during early morning and evening hours, or when driving during hazardous conditions on snow and ice.
• Use high beams to see far ahead when there is no oncoming traffic.
• Don’t over drive your headlights. If you are driving faster than the distance it takes to stop when you see something in your headlights you are going too fast.
• Slow down when you encounter wildlife; deer travel in small groups. If you see one expect to see more on roadway.
• Turn on flashing hazard lights to warn other drivers of danger.
• Blow horn with one long blast to frighten wildlife.
• Do not swerve to avoid a collision, you may lose control of your vehicle. Slow down quickly, but safely.
• Brake in a straight line. Swerving and braking is more likely to result in an out of control skid.
• Injured wildlife are dangerous; do not help the animal.
• Move your wrecked car to side of road; use flashers.
• Always wear a seat belt, keep children in car seats.
