After some recent accidents, the Chatham-Kent Police are reminding drivers to watch for deer while out on the roads. Drivers should be extra vigilant when driving at dusk and dawn.

Officers have issued the following tips:

• Scan the road ahead from shoulder to shoulder for any movement
• Use high beams at night when possible and watch for the glowing eyes of animals
• If an animal is crossing the road, stop as safely as possible in your lane. Remember, if one animal crosses, others could follow
• Never swerve suddenly. Police said this could cause you to lose control, leading to a more severe collision

A new study asked people when they procrastinate the most.

After analyzing the responses, they determined that peak procrastination hits at 12:06 p.m. on Mondays.

The study also asked people what they usually find themselves doing other than the things on their to-do list, and the top responses were: Watching TV, scrolling through social media, taking a nap, visiting with family and friends, grabbing a bite to eat, “doing nothing”, going for a walk and going shopping.
