What should you do if animals enter the roadway?

When animals enter the roadway, the safest and most responsible action is to slow down and proceed with caution. This approach allows the driver to maintain better control of the vehicle while also assessing the situation more clearly. Animals can behave unpredictably, and by reducing speed, the driver has a greater chance of reacting appropriately to any sudden movements by the animal. Additionally, slowing down provides time for the animal to move off the road, reducing the risk of a collision.

Taking this route is also considerate of other drivers and road users who may be affected by the presence of the animals. Reducing speed can help prevent accidents and ensure the safety of both the vehicle occupants and the animals involved.
