The mountain ranges back east aren't nearly as spectacular. Way too many trees there. Ya know, some of us think trees are a good thing. They provide welcome shade, look great in the fall, and hide an awful lot of boring dirt. Yeah, but they aren't much for scenery. Bull****, trees are part of the scenery.

What did your colleague do, hit an entire herd?! A lot depends on how low your car is and what the shape of the bonnet (hood) is. I had a friend hit a deer in one of those little Chrysler cars and all that happened was he broke the radio antenna. The car was low enough to get under the deer. If you hit that sucker right in the middle of the body, there is no way to get under it and the deer is going to smash up the car. Modern cars (as in the last 20 years) are designed to deflect pedestrians and bounce them up instead of smashing them. Works for deer too. -- Mother: "Why are you home from school so early?"

Everyone should have at least some training on how to handle skids and high speed lane changes even if that lane is the dirt. I took a 2 week course decades ago when I thought I was an SCCA racer and it still serves me today. People who need to take courses should be banned from driving. If it doesn't come naturally, get the **** out of my way. -- Contrary to popular belief, the most dangerous animal is not the lion or the tiger.

I simply do not believe a deer is dangerous. I guess you never had one jump out in front of your car. 125-150 people a year die from it. Yes I have. £50 damage to my car, I didn't even feel it. Learn to drive better. Frigging idiot. You paid £50 to fix a £25 piece of **** car? Just how dumb are you? Of course you didn't feel it. You were drunk. |

I just needed a bonnet, headlight, and mirror, which I fitted myself. Cost me about £50 for the lot. What did your colleague do, hit an entire herd?! A lot depends on how low your car is and what the shape of the bonnet (hood) is. I had a friend hit a deer in one of those little Chrysler cars and all that happened was he broke the radio antenna. The car was low enough to get under the deer. If you hit that sucker right in the middle of the body, there is no way to get under it and the deer is going to smash up the car. Modern cars (as in the last 20 years) are designed to deflect pedestrians and bounce them up instead of smashing them. Works for deer too. -- Modern cars are more aerodynamic than older automobiles and pedestrians and deer act a lot like air when impacting the front of a vehicle. It would be interesting to have a type of wind tunnel but instead of air, it fired people and deer at test vehicles. It could be a vertical shaft with the test vehicles attached to the wall at the bottom and people and deer could be dropped from the top of the shaft.
