Driving Tips

When driving at night, Queensland Transport advises that

"Animals can be hypnotised by the glare of your headlights. If an animal is on the road:

  • slow down
  • be prepared to stop
  • sound your horn, if necessary
  • flash your lights
  • keep control of the vehicle and do not swerve. (Try to pass behind the animal.)
Also, watch for animals on the side of the road because they may cross the road without warning. "

Of course, you should always do this in a safe manner and not cause collisions with other cars or people.
