Watch Out For Animals! – Green Bay Tire in Thornhill Reminds Drivers to Watch for Wildlife



We here at Green Bay Tire in Thornhill know that Ontario is full of a wide range of majestic wildlife. While we prefer to see them safely in their natural habitat or in a zoo, wild animals have a terrible habit of appearing suddenly on the roadways in front of vehicles.

Green Bay Tire in Thornhill knows that there are several important things to remember here. First, the likelihood that a deer or a moose is going to suddenly pop up while you’re pulling out of the Starbucks parking lot is slim.  Green Bay Tire in Thornhill knows that you’re a lot more likely to see animals in the roadway at between dusk and dawn and they are much more likely to be at the edge of wooded area. Take care when you’re driving past wooded areas at night, or close to dusk and dawn.

Also remember that speed kills. Green Bay Tire in Thornhill knows that speed is your enemy during any type of collision. The faster you are going in your car, the less time you have to react to something that appears in the road. Green Bay Tire in Thornhill knows that you don’t want to hit a deer or a moose going 60 MPH because that’s as slow as you could get your speed as you tried to break going 80 MPH down the road.

Also be aware of your surroundings. Green Bay Tire in Thornhill knows that it’s easy enough to turn what could’ve been a collision with no injuries into a collision with injuries. Many people swerve to avoid an animal that they are going to collide with in the road. Often they do manage to avoid the animal, but not the trees by the roadside. A deer is not going to stay stationary when you hit it, a 25 year old pine tree will. Green Bay Tire in Thornhill knows that that is definitely not something you want to test out in a collision.

We here at Green Bay Tire in Thornhill want our customers and community to stay safe while in their vehicles. Fixing a vehicle is much easier and cheaper than fixing a person. Always keep that in mind when you’re in your car.
