Question:
I have hit 2 deer in the last 6 months. Not one to get into accidents. Haven't had one in 16 years aside from these 2 deer. Was going the speed limit, pretty defensive but there they were. Just appeared. I am paranoid this is going to happen again. I have heard of the whistler. Where could I get it online? Are there other solutions I am not aware of? Thank you.

Contrary to what some have said above DEER WHISTLES DO WORK! But not perfectly. They are better than nothing!Is it safe to drive a Mercedes from Singapore to KL?
What I am talking about is the low cost whistles that produce an inaudible whistle above the frequency of human hearing. They produce this sound by the air from the car moving rushing through them.

I used to work for a company that did trucking at night. We had several collisions with deer. There are deer whistles that can easily be installed on autos or trucks. They should be available at almost any auto parts store. I do recommend them. However, a word of caution--they will stop deer dead in their tracks. They do not cause deer to run away! So if a deer is in front of you, he will probably remain in front of you--frozen. However, this is better than the alternative, which is the deer getting scared by the head lights and jumping and thrashing around in a panic. If the deer freezes in his tracks, you can usually maneuver around him. The worst is if he comes through the windshield--people have been kicked to death after a collision with a deer and it came through the windshield.

Watch for green grass along side of the road. Deer have to have some green stuff to eat, otherwise they will starve. The grass along side highways tends to stay green even in wintern hence it brings the deer close to the highway. Areas with green grass along them are areas to use caution. Slow down along these areas whether you have deer whistles or not.
the white diamond line is only used for carpool or buses if no sign ahead?
Once in a while you will have to run a wire through the whistles to make sure that air can freely move through them. It is easy for them to get clogged.
Remember that they are not 100% effective so use caution. But, I highly recommend them.

Try driving alittle slower so that maybe you can see them sooner.

Also, know the times of day when deer are out. they like to come out, and cross roads to get to water at DUSK and DAWN. and they come out when it sprinkles too. good luck.

There is not much you can do. A deer will even run into the side of your car. Solution is to have more hunting days to thin them out.If a city or town doesn't have enough signs on the street or roads, who can I address?

the academy our any other store that caries deer hunting supplies maybe even some auto part stores have them bumper guards do work it lowers the impact of the deer hittin yuor carThere is no indication that deer whistles, either mechanical or electronic, make a sound that can be heard by deer. In any case, you would be out-running the sound and would hit the deer about the same time it heard any "whistle".

I had the mechanical ones on a motorcycle.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol did a test of deer whistles and their conclusion was they do not work. Their advice to avoid deer/car collisions is to be more alert. use your high beams whenever possible.
