How should drivers act in the presence of farm animals on the roadway?

When encountering farm animals on the roadway, drivers should slow down or stop. This is the correct approach as it prioritizes safety for both the animals and the vehicle occupants. Farm animals may be unpredictable when they are in or near the road, and sudden movements can lead to accidents.

Slowing down or stopping allows the driver to assess the situation and safely navigate around the animals without causing harm. Animals do not always respond predictably to human actions, such as honking or attempting to drive around them quickly. Drivers must recognize that these situations require patience and caution to ensure the safety of all road users, including the animals.
