unless the deer came through the windshield and skewered you with its antlers (if it was a male) or just simply smashed your face with the force of its body hitting you (not to mention broken glass flying at you). Either way its a bad situation that I would NOT want to find myself in.

So if I roll my car I can just tell my insurance "I swerved to avoid a deer", and they'll pay out without any evidence of the deer????? Worth remembering that...they do have deers at thunderhill you know.

Meh.. evsould and I work with him. This has to have happened hummn... roughly a year ago, maybe a bit less. Him and the passenger both walked away clean from the roll (though a bit shook up). He since "upgraded" to a scion tc. meh

It's crazy how many deers I see wandering around now-a-days up here. One day I saw 3 deers strolling down 101 during rush hour near Todd Road.
