What Motorcyclists Can Do To Avoid Vehicle Deer Crashes:

 

 

  • Be alert for deer whenever they ride.  Deer-vehicle crashes happen in urban, suburban   and rural areas.

  • Slow down. Decreasing speed gives a motorcyclist more time to spot an animal and react.
  • Cover the brakes to reduce reaction time.
  • Use high beam headlights and additional driving light when possible.
  • If riding in a group, spread out riders in a staggered formation. If one rider hits a deer, this will lessen the chance that other riders will be involved.
  • Wear protective gear at all times.
