Time Change Increases Risk of Wildlife Collisions

With the shift to winter time, drivers face heightened dangers of accidents with wildlife during peak commuting hours.

Authorities warn that the time change will lead to more wildlife collisions as commuting hours coincide with the animals' active periods.
Rehe and wild boars are particularly at risk due to increased movement for food and mating during dusk and dawn.
Drivers are advised to reduce speed, maintain safe distances, and avoid sudden maneuvers if wildlife is spotted on the road.
In case of a collision, motorists should secure the scene, avoid contact with the animal, and report the incident to the police.
Efforts are underway to raise awareness through campaigns, emphasizing cautious driving in areas prone to wildlife crossings.
