Wild Animals Are More Likely to Appear on Roads in Autumn and Winter
Experts remind drivers that encounters with wild animals on roads become more frequent in autumn and winter. They advise paying particular attention to speed and visibility.
Drivers in Latvia face a higher risk of encountering wild animals on the road in autumn and winter, experts warn. The topic is covered in a video report by Uldis Birziņš, published by the car news portal iAuto.lv.
According to the report, spotting an animal on the road can force a driver to make a decision within a second. Such situations become more common in the colder seasons, so experts recommend paying special attention to two things: driving speed and visibility.
The report explains why the risk of meeting wild animals is greater at this particular time and how drivers can reduce the likelihood of a collision. More detailed advice is provided in the video itself.
The reminder is relevant for anyone who drives during the autumn and winter months, since an animal can appear on the road unexpectedly and the time available to react is very limited.
