We often hear about the danger of moose on the road. How dangerous is it really?
|
A
|
Most of the vehicle collisions with moose happen from dusk to dawn. During daylight just respect the speed limits and keep your eyes open and you should be fine. Don't drive at night if you can avoid it. If you do need to drive at night you and your passengers have to be on high alert and slow down significantly.
