Ok so I was drivin down a long straight dark strip minding my own business doin a little over 70mph then outta nowhere a deer pop out n jus stood in the middle of the street starin at me goin towards him and he jus stood there n stare as I was still doing 70 thinkin he probabli goin to run pass but he didn't still starin at me had to do sum quick downshiftin n breaking n wen I finally stop 3-8 feet away from hittin the deer ..it finally ran off


Ooo n I find this funny sorry if it offend anyone but my friend was with me n he said "It was night so i thought u was bout to hit 2 black kids cuz I saw 4 black legs"

Scary night that was

 

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm just a derdy redneck American. But your friend's comment was friggin' hilarious!

 

We actually hit one last week on the way to the airport for spring break.

 

Which one a black kid or a deer?

 

A dear will not move once it stares at your headlights, it's blinded and waits until it can see again before it moves. You did the right thing to stop rather than swerve!

Speaking of I think its funny people wear dark colors while walking around at night in low to no light areas and expect people in cars to see them. I've come so close to hitting a few of these people. No race specifically either, stupidity isn't prejudice!

 

I've found that honking and flashing your hi beams usually gets them to move.

 

3 weeks ago, I was driving to work on a side/back road and a deer ran towards my ZR and hit it on the passenger front panel/door. I'm convinced that the blue hue of the xenon lights probably attracted it because the cars ahead didn't attract it's attention. The damage was fairly light, mostly cosmetic damage that can be replaced/repaired. I consider myself lucky because as many people don't walk away from a collision with a deer.

I had just purchased the car 3 days before the accident. The car has been in the shop and I will be getting it back tomorrow!!! There was a 2 week delay to bring the car into the shop because they've been busy from new business incurred from a 50-car pile up on the local highway.

It's been extremely painful to be without a convertible during these beautiful spring days.
