Accidents involving cars and animals are an everyday occurrence. These typically involve animals such as squirrels and other small wildlife.

Crash Avoidance Maneuvering: Should You Brake or Swerve?

By | October 19th, 2017

If while driving, something should block your way without warning, you have two crash avoidance options. You can swerve or you can brake.
