Watch for wildlife

Chatham-Kent police are reminding motorists to keep an eye out for deer, especially at dusk and dawn.

To avoid a collision, they recommend:

- Scan the road ahead from shoulder to shoulder for any movement.

- Use high beams at night, when possible, and watch for the glowing eyes of animals.

- If an animal is crossing the road, stop as safely as possible, in your lane.

- Remember, if one animal crosses the road, others may follow.

- Never swerve suddenly. This may cause you to lose control of your vehicle, resulting in a more serious collision.
