Re: Do the DEER Warning devices really work?

No, they don't. These devices were debunked some years ago by Car and Driver magazine.

If anything, these devices are worse than nothing at all, because they create a false sense of security for the driver, making them think they no longer have to slow down or keep a lookout for deer.

Deer run in front of traffic in part, because of their instinctive 'flight from danger' behaviors. No amount of noise will change how they run from a percieved hazard.
