Using the horn is a bad idea with moose. They take it as a challenge and will charge the vehicle.

Then, the most effective reaction is to sound the horn. And not a polite "toot, toot" but push the button and keep pushing until the risk is over. At the same time, slow down. And don't keep watching the deer you spotted. Very often there are more around and any that you see you have already seen and the _unseen_ ones are the most surprising. This is based on many, many miles of driving in rural deer country. So while I have impacted many deer, the one that got this wagon is the only contact in the last decade or so that I have used the horn. There have been at least a dozen situations that could have easily included impact. Of course, I can't say what would have really happened. In urban and suburban, the horn sounding may be an issue. Use at your own risk. *smiles* _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
