You may want to think twice about swerving as you break for those animals on the road.
The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration recorded 173 fatal crashes and 12,000 injury crashes involving animals in 2009.
We have some tips: if the animal is shorter than your hood, and you can't check the other lanes, simply keep going.
If the animal is taller, avoid it if you can, but it still might be better to hit the animal, keeping you and other drivers safe.
