New research from the AAA Foundation reveals the most dangerous times and locations for deer-vehicle collisions, highlighting patterns that could help drivers avoid accidents. The study suggests that braking in the lane rather than swerving at the last moment may significantly reduce the risk of injury. Findings indicate that certain conditions and behaviors increase the likelihood of these crashes, offering drivers key insights for safer travel. The data could inform both individual driving habits and broader traffic safety strategies.
New AAA Foundation research shows where and when deer crashes peak, and why braking in lane often beats a last-second swerve.
