Local risk worth knowing: The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's annual 'Antler Alert' reported about 3,400 deer-vehicle crashes on Kentucky highways in 2024, with nearly half occurring in October through December. For Lexington-Fayette urban county drivers this is a comprehensive-coverage question — worth raising on the call.
Here's the local reality that shapes comprehensive and liability decisions:
Lexington drivers orbit New Circle Road and cut across town on Man o' War, with I-64 and I-75 meeting northeast of the city. Horse country sets the texture: narrow two-lanes lined with stone walls and board fences between Versailles Road and Paris Pike, where a moment's inattention gets expensive and deer appear without warning. Georgetown moves to the Toyota plant's shift changes, Frankfort to the state government clock, and Richmond and Nicholasville feed steady I-75 and US-27 commutes. Ice storms are central Kentucky's signature winter hazard, coating everything overnight — a comprehensive-coverage conversation — and game-day traffic around campus reshapes Saturdays every fall.
