You are not the only one who enjoy the cool fall weather, so do the deer! Deer are most active during the fall, which give you the opportunity to watch them in their natural habitat. Unfortunately, it also means that you are more likely to hit a deer on the road. The best way to protect yourself from a collision with a deer is to invest in the right auto insurance policy. However, it is important to remember that your auto insurance policy will only provide coverage if you have comprehensive coverage. Comprehensive coverage will provide coverage for accidents that do not involve another vehicle, such as if you hit a deer. If you skipped out on comprehensive coverage on your auto insurance policy, you may be left paying for any repairs for your vehicle yourself. Along with having the right auto insurance coverage, there are many steps that you can take to help avoid a collision with deer. Keep these tips in mind to ensure you and all the deer stay safe this fall.

• When it is safe, always use your high beams. While the light will not scare away the deer, you will be able to see them better. Use your horn to scare away deer.
• Deer tend to travel in packs, so if you see one deer, chances are there are more nearby. Make sure to use extreme caution if you see one deer.
• Drive extra cautiously in the early morning hour and in the evening, since that is when deer are the most active.
• If a collision with a deer is unavoidable, do not swerve. Swerving can cause a more serious accident than just hitting the deer.
