Night Driving In Fall: Stay Alert For Deer
• Deer activity increases in the fall due to breeding season and shorter days, raising night driving risks.
• Use high beams safely and reduce speed in rural areas to improve reaction time.
• Stay alert for deer along roadways and know what to do if an accident occurs.
Fall night driving and deer activity
As the leaves change and the weather cools, fall brings unique challenges for drivers, especially at night. One of the most significant risks is the increased activity of deer. Cooler evenings and the deer breeding season, also known as the rut, mean more deer are on the move, often crossing roadways.
