Do deer whistles really work

The jury's still out. You need to be going at a pretty good clip to get the whistle loud enough to make the deer take notice, which often means you don't have the necessary stopping distance to brake in time for the extra dumb one. The fact is deer seem to have no understanding of vehicle dynamics at all. While many kinds of animals are hit because they miscalculated their ability to make it across the road before the car got there, deer are seemingly unique in their abilty to ignore vehicles completely.

With no bumper on a Smart car where should Deer Whistles be placed?

They'll do approximately as much good in the glove compartment, or better yet still in the package in the store, as anywhere else.Every study that's ever been done on these devices has concluded that they have no measurable effect. In fact, state police in several states have noted that after installing deer whistles on patrol cars, the number of deer/vehicle incidents actually increased from those over a similar period the year before the whistles were installed (this is probably coincidence and not a causal relationship).Occasionally vendors of these devices will claim that studies in Europe have proved they work, but if you actually read the studies they cite, the ultimate conclusions are, again, that the whistles do nothing.

Where does a deer whistle go on car?

Anywhere on the front end of the car but these items don't really work * Added - Only 1 deer whistle of the many brands sold has ever been shown to work as intended. Even working as intended, it does not mean the deer will hear it or it will move. A deer whistle must be at the front of the car and will only work at the speed it was designed to function at.

What does it mean when someone says bells and whistles?

"Bells and whistles" are extra thing that don't really add anything to whatever the thing is - they're extras, like icing on a cake. For example, if you have a car that has XM radio, a navigator system, bluetooth, and a video player, it has a lot of bells and whistles on top of being just a car.
