Are animals considered a roadway hazard?
Animals are just one type of roadway hazard. From the smallest rodents, raccoons, squirrels, duck families (mom and ducklings), etc., to the largest North American animals, like deer, buck, bears, and elk, animals crossing roadways cause thousands of accidents every year. People are hurt from swerving to try to avoid the animal or group of animals, or from colliding with the animal. If the vehicle hits an animal, it can cause extensive windshield and body damage plus human injury. Also in some States, killing a deer in a roadway accident requires the driver to report the carcass to the State Game Wardens or State Police, to avoid having another driver coming upon a danger. When driving anytime from dusk to dawn, driving near ponds or lakes, driving near State Game Lands/Reserves/Parks, or driving on rural roads, the risks are much higher, but animals even cross major interstates. Drivers must always be alert to these potential dangers.

How you would deal with the hazard of driving along a country 2-lane road where the asphalt has broken along the right edge and a car is approaching?
T deal with the hazard of driving along a country 2-lane road where the asphalt has broken along the right edge and a car is approaching, you would first need to be watchful for situations like this. Many rural roads have crumbling edges which you can see because the white line on the right and the shoulder is gone.Most drivers instinctively move to the left to avoid this hazard, but you cannot do this if a car is approaching. Instead, stay in your lane and stop well before the hazard. Wait until the other car passes, then move to the left away from the hazard; pull back into your lane as soon as possible.
