Pro tip for driving safely at night… do not travel in the passing lane. The overwhelming majority of head on wrong way collisions occur in the passing lane because the wrong way driver thinks they’re in the correct lane.

Interesting. However, is the passing lane safer for avoiding deer?

That’s a good question. Hitting a deer is obviously far less potentially deadly then being struck head on by a wrong way driver on the highway. However, you’re probably more likely to hit a deer then be hit by a wrong way driver.

Personally, I’ll take the deer. I’ve yet to see a fatal accident from hitting a deer. I know they happen, but I haven’t seen one yet. What I have seen is multiple deadly head on collisions.

Be safe, use good judgement.
