What is the best thing to do if you encounter an animal on the roadway?

If you encounter an animal on the roadway, the best course of action is to slow down and be prepared to stop. Honk your horn to alert the animal and other drivers, and watch for any additional animals that may be crossing. If you cannot avoid a collision, aim to steer your vehicle safely to minimize the impact. Always prioritize your safety and the safety of other drivers over the animal.
