Pay particular attention to these days

The damage ranges widely – from smashed bumpers to totally damaged cars. But whether the accident occurs frontally or as a result of an evasion maneuver, the bill is rarely modest. According to Topdanmark, the repair price after wild animals collision is an average of 39 percent higher than with other damage.

« Based on our pilot project, we have a presumption that the bicycle thieves are discouraged when they see a bike, labeled with a QR code that is difficult to remove. It works in the same way as when it says on a house that there is alarm, » says Ruby-Johansen.

The triangular warning for motorists

Topdanmark advises motorists to pay special attention between 05 and 08 in the morning and again from 17 to 23 in the evening – precisely where the deer enjoys moving. And if you drive near forest areas, creeks or dense planting, keeping the speed is not enough – it’s all about lowering it.

The main advice is:

• Avoiding dangerous evasion maneuvers – it can do more harm than good.

• Pay extra attention at dusk and dawn – this is where the animals are most active.

• Keep an eye on warning signs marking animal crosses.

So the next time you roll out of the driveway in the morning or evening sun, give the accelerator a break and your eyes a little extra focus. Spring is not only beautiful – it is also the peak season for deer offsets.
