Driving Near Animals

Animals can sometimes seem like a bit of a nuisance when you are in a hurry to get the children from school, make it to an important meeting or simply going for a drive.

Even though you might sometimes feel this way, animals have as much right to the road as drivers... After all, they came first!

In an ideal world, animals would be kept well away from roads all the time, but it's often necessary to use roads to gain access. With this in mind, it makes sense to share the roads safely – an animal might delay you for a couple of minutes, but an accident can delay you for hours, months or years.
