Wildlife warning

About four per cent of the annual collisions in BC are caused by wildlife. In 2005, approximately 9,800 animal-related collisions occurred, costing policyholders more than $33 million.

Tips for avoiding wildlife collisions

• Slow down and use caution when you see wildlife on or near a highway. Slowing down will help you to react in case you encounter an animal.
• Animals are unpredictable - they may charge without warning. Be alert, especially at dusk or dawn.
• If you've sighted animals, turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers.

For additional information, see the Wildlife Collision Prevention Program at www.wildlifecollisions.ca.
