In the Plesetsk district noticed elk on the road

In the Plesetsk district, drivers were warned about moose on the highway. This was reported by the administration of the Plesetsk district.

Locals are increasingly seeing elk on the roads. The administration recalled that a collision with such a large animal at high speed can lead to serious damage to the car and serious injuries or death of the driver and passengers. Moose behave unpredictably and can suddenly run out of the woods, especially in poor visibility. At night and at night, the danger increases many times.

Drivers are advised to slow down in the evening and at night, as well as near forests and settlements, carefully inspect the roadsides and forest strip, pay attention to signs “Wild animals” and not be distracted by the phone while driving. On empty sections of the road you can use high beam, but switch to near when approaching oncoming cars.

If the moose was on the road, you need to immediately reduce the speed to a minimum and if possible smoothly stop. Do not try to bypass the animal, if this can lead to a collision with other cars or exit into the oncoming lane. There is also no need to honk and make sudden movements - this can frighten the animal.
