Progressive Cares!
November 1st, 2007 — 3:17am
Ever since I’ve owed a car, I’ve used Progressive (Geico turned me down, losers). They have been the most friendly, easy to use, understanding company I have dealt with in a long time. One of the things they may not be aware of is that my software support company supports their software needs! So technically, we’re even. I digress; They sent me the funniest email about deer awareness for my area (South Eastern Pennsylvania) that I couldn’t resist but to share!
To add they sent these list of precautions:
- When driving at night, use your high beams when there is no oncoming traffic. The lights cause deer’s eyes to glow, making them more visible. High beams also help you see farther, giving you additional time to react if a deer is on or near the road.
- Deer often travel in groups. If you see a deer, be prepared for additional deer to follow.
- Deer can be found on highways and busy city streets, not just rural roads. Deer can suddenly dart across a road when distracted by lights or the sound of a horn.
- Drive cautiously through posted deer-crossing areas.
- Contact your local law enforcement to remove a deer that is lying in the road for the safety of other approaching vehicles. Never approach a deer yourself. Wear your safety belt at all times.
So be careful deer drivers!
