Question: If a large animal such as a moose or deer is in your path on a rural road, what is the safest action?

Answer options:

  • Swerve sharply to avoid the animal at any cost ✅ Brake firmly while keeping the vehicle straight and try to steer slightly behind the animal's path
  • Accelerate to clear the area faster
  • Turn the headlights off so the animal moves on

Correct answer: Brake firmly while keeping the vehicle straight and try to steer slightly behind the animal's path

Explanation: Hard swerving can roll the vehicle or cause a head-on collision with oncoming traffic. Brake firmly with the wheel straight, and if you must steer, aim behind the animal — most animals continue forward. Wildlife collisions are most common at dawn and dusk in NL and Atlantic Canada.
