Sound your horn if you encounter a _________ ahead of you on the road.

Explanation

Many cars strike deer, especially in October or November. If you see a deer, sound one long blast on your horn to scare it off the road. However, don't sound your horn near a bicyclist, a horse and rider, or a blind pedestrian. A startled bicyclist could lose control, a startled horse could throw its rider, and a blind pedestrian wouldn't know why a horn is being sounded. Under Vermont law, you must do everything reasonable to prevent frightening an animal that is pulling a vehicle or being ridden.
