Abstract

The problem of game-vehicle accidents is discussed in terms of drivers' strategies for visual search in driving. To find possible measures for reducing the number of wildlife accidents, four studies were undertaken. Initially, two exploratory investigations were made: a survey of drivers' expectancies concerning moose in traffic and a study involving self reports of accidents and near-accidents with moose. The results from these investigations give no evidence that drivers' experience, knowledge, or attitudes concerning moose are related to wildlife accidents.
