According to the Florida manual, during which months do deer and vehicle crashes occur most often?
-
A.
June to August
-
B.
January to March
-
C.
October to December Correct
-
D.
March to May
The answer is "October to December"
The manual singles out October through December for deer collisions, which lines up with rut and hunting season. Choice D tempts drivers who associate all wildlife activity with spring, when many other animals give birth, so they carry that idea over to deer.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. June to August
The manual does not name summer as the peak period. This answer pairs deer with the summer months drivers spend most on rural roads and treats that as the risk peak.
B. January to March
The manual does not name winter as the peak period. This answer applies a northern-state snowbelt image of deer on winter roads to a Florida figure the manual sets in fall.
D. March to May
The manual does not name spring as the peak period. This answer assumes spring wildlife-birth season applies to deer collisions instead of the fall window the manual names.
