Question: When animals are on or near the road you should:
Answer options:
- Honk loudly ✅ Slow down, be ready to stop, do not swerve sharply
- Speed up
- Flash high beams
Correct answer: Slow down, be ready to stop, do not swerve sharply
Explanation: Slowing down and preparing to stop while maintaining your lane is the safest response to wildlife, as swerving sharply can cause a severe rollover or head-on collision. Speeding up increases impact severity, while honking loudly or flashing high beams can scare or temporarily blind animals, causing them to freeze or bolt unpredictably. SAAQ defensive driving guidelines prioritize vehicle control and controlled deceleration over sudden evasive steering. For the exam, remember that maintaining a straight, stable path and reducing speed is the standard best practice for handling unexpected hazards on the road.
