Thread: Be aware of Moose on the roads

It is that time of year again around here. Just think of the damage to a car which is much lower than the ambulance. Maybe take a pass at driving at night while travelling too.

Mooses can be forgiven, here we have a bigger danger. People walking into the roads with headphones listening to music.
All year round

At least they do less damage to the vehicles and it thins out the shallow end of the gene pool. Not much sympathy for people who have their head buried firmly up their derriere.

Ha ha, you are cruel but make sense.

Do that here, in the States. And you'd be listening to Led Zeppelins, stairway to heaven.

Great tune.
Listening to music is ok but at least look left n right .Muppets.

Naw, life is cruel and some lessons are terminal, unfortunately.

Several years ago an officer with the Newfoundland Constabulary (provincial police) was a spokesman on television advising drivers to be careful at dusk and dawn since moose-involved collisions were occurring frequently. The next day he hit one and his police vehicle was a write off.

I have driven frequently across northern Ontario and avoid those times just because of the possibility of running into wildlife - literally and figuratively. I was once told that if you hit a beast in the north, you have to call two tow trucks. The first one claims the meat, the second tows your car.

Meat?
I thought they went into a dessert.

Sorry.

And they also use some parts to make hair products.

They have killed many vehicles and quite a few people. If they are standing on the road during the rutting season, do not honk your horn at them. They have been known to completely trash stopped vehicles too.
