- At dawn and dusk, you run the greatest risk of wildlife accidents, which is when most animals move to look for food.

Keep an eye on the roadsides and adjust the speed and try to predict where animals may appear, says Johan Granholm, engine expert at the insurance company If. 

The number of accidents is increasing 

In Kalmar County, just over 3,200 deer accidents occurred last year, which is the most accidents in the country in terms of number of cars.

In Kalmar County, there were 24.2 accidents per 1,000 passenger cars, approximately every 40th car. 

Kronoberg County is also among the hardest hit counties in the country.

Here, 2095 collisions with deer were reported last year.

Which corresponds to 20.2 accidents per 1000 passenger cars. 

The trend in both Kalmar and Kronoberg counties is also that the number of accidents is increasing.
