9. Deer Alerts - We live in the Midwest and that means you will see deer on the side of the highway. Deer are vehicle destroyers - point blank. Deer are erratic, unpredictable, and big enough to cause massive damage to your car - an quite possibly you or a passenger - if contact occurs. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), deer-related accidents cause an estimated $1.1 billion in vehicle damage every year. Don't be a statistic. A deer alert system can save your vehicle and your life.
