Drivers are taught to scan the road ahead, especially in rural or wooded areas, and to watch for warning signs indicating animal crossings. The section advises slowing down at dawn and dusk, when animals are most active, and never swerving suddenly to avoid an animal, as this can cause a loss of control. Understanding how to react to animals on the road is crucial for preventing accidents and is an important part of the BC driver’s knowledge test.
