What should you do if you see an animal on the road?

When you see an animal on the road, the safest and most responsible action is to slow down and proceed with caution. Animals can be unpredictable; they might dart onto the road unexpectedly or hesitate before moving. Reducing your speed gives you more time to react and assess the situation, allowing you to avoid a collision and ensure the safety of both yourself and the animal.

Proceeding with caution means being prepared for the possibility that the animal may not leave the road immediately, and it allows you to avoid making sudden maneuvers that could lead to losing control of your vehicle or endangering other road users. It’s a proactive approach that prioritizes safety over hastiness.
