involving a deer and my car.
It came from the left as I was going north on 330.
I didn't see it till it was in the passenger lane and evidently neither did it. when it noticed me comming at it, the stupid thing panicked and fell down right in front of my car. Luckily I layed into the brakes and swerved just enough to miss it. sure am glad I have a car that can handle at speed!

well, I didn't swerve that violently, the problem that most people have is that they overreact with the swerve and get sideways. I got over just enough to miss the deer and no more then that.

I've about hit unknown number of deer on my way to summer work... which starts at midnight, so 11 pm to midnight I'm driving, prime hours. I've seen a coon get hit, and watched it in "slow motion" real time die before I passed it... that was pretty cool. I'm trying to switch to day shift.

i always speed up for them in my truck  ...worse thing to do is slam ur brakes on as you go straight at them...I figured my truck might get totalled out but the insurance company pays for shit like that and the deer gets to join me for dinner

the deer knew he had no chance against a mustang, so he laid down to accept his fate.

It realized that my driving skills are so highly advanced that it was perfectly safe to depend on my swerving to miss it so it layed down to take a nap

I guess I'm lucky, I've never had a run-in with deer on the roads.
