It’s that time of year again. Lambton OPP are urging drivers to be on the lookout for deer.

OPP suggest watching for deer especially in rural and wooded areas, use your high beams to illuminate the eyes of a deer on or near the road.

If you see a deer, the OPP suggests you slow down and blow your horn with one long blast to frighten it away. And it says you should not swerve to avoid the animal since that can cause a crash.

And police advice not to use devices such as deer whistles, deer fences and reflectors to deter deer. 

Slow down, stay alert, and remain in control of your vehicle, police say.
