MIND THAT REINDEER
Do keep an eye out for reindeer on the road. They're not dangerous and they're de-
cidedly more charming than annoying. But they might slow your progress and bring
you to a very abrupt halt if you hit one at speed. Sometimes wandering alone, now
and again in herds, they might not be fazed by your inanimate car. If they refuse to
budge, just get out, walk towards them and they'll amble away.
