A collision with a moose is one of the most serious accidents, often ending in the death of everyone in the car. And what else can you expect
Most moose accidents happen at night. They usually hit the road before sunrise or in the first two hours after sunset. At this point, you should be especially careful, because in the dark it is difficult to notice a wild animal and it is completely impossible to predict its behavior. In the event of a beep or in a dazzling headlight, the headlight will not run away from the car, but instead rush towards it. So don’t provoke the forest dweller. It’s easier to slow down, turn on the emergency lights and wait for him to cross the road. At the same time, it should be remembered that the moose rarely goes alone. Usually two or three others follow one animal.
Automakers are certainly aware of the seriousness of accidents involving large animals. That’s why they came up with the so-called moose test. For example, they check the suspension settings and the operation of the electronics with a sharp detour around an obstacle. But this exercise has nothing to do with a real encounter with a moose. That is, it has, but only in the sense of the car’s skills and abilities to precisely and clearly obey the steering wheel.
Usually drivers want to get around the moose that drove onto the road so they stay on the road. That is, they send the car to where the animal’s muzzle is. This is wrong. A large animal cannot stop or move quickly. Therefore, he will try to add speed and run away. At this point, the impact occurs.
To get away from the accident, point the car in the direction from which the animal runs away. If you have to taxi to the “oncoming traffic” for this – do it. After all, you are saving your own life. Can you fly into a ditch? Excellent! Break the car, but stay alive.
Also keep in mind that if a collision is unavoidable, try to keep the impact on a tangent line. And if there is no passenger in the car, bend to the right. Then the animal’s body will fly higher. This will save your life.
