I to have hit my share of deer over the years 5 of them to be exact. two of the hits caused damage bad enough to need repair the other three where not bad enough to need repair. What I have learner is that driving slower is better, and specialy when visability is poor, such as at dawn, dusk, night and in a blizards. one of the roads that I drive on has a speed limit of 80 km/hr [50mph], local people complain that the road is dangerous and want the road upgraded to allow higher speeds. What I say is that the road is safe when driving at or below the posted speed limit, yet so meany drivers insist on driving at 100km/hr [62mph] at night on this road when it is common knowledge that there are deer,horses and cows on the road on a regular basis. As much as we would like to blame governmant and industry for our problems [Driving to fast for the condition...] some of the responcebility [33%] always remains with us. We can increase the risk or reduce the risk we may never be able to make it go away.
