So I was driving along on a two lane highway, prolly about 65 MPH. All of a sudden this deer pops out. It was hella close, and I didn't even have time to think, so I swerved. I skidded across both lanes and flew into a steep ditch nose first. Then I slid and almost rolled my car. It was stopped from rolling by heavy brush. (keep in mind, it's a little Honda Accord.)
The first thing I did was jump out of the car because I thought I was in serious danger. After a few seconds I realized I was okay and my car was still running. I jumped back in and got it back onto the road. Then I realized my car was smoking, so I turned it off.  I noticed coolant everywhere, and my bumper half off. It dented my fender a bit but besides that it's alright. It ripped my front plate off and a turn signal though.

Went I was skidding across the road I totally thought I was going to die right there. I'm extremely thankful I wasn't in a taller car, or I would've rolled several times.

tl;dr: forget deer.



Yeah, I agree with you. forget deer.

my that's where that deer went off to

:(

dont swerve for animals

hit the brakes and try to go around but dont swerve ever
I know that. It's hard to remember that when you're in the situation, though. Plus it was right in front of me, if I wouldnt have swerved, it would have went through the windscreen.

when mowing the lawn, you don't swerve your lawnmower into a hedge just because you saw a weed on the ground.

yeah, i'm saying its the deer's fault for getting onto the road. you would have been alot better alive feeling guilty from killing it than dead from trying to avoid it.

except when you have a short car with a sloped hood.
YES, I know that I'm not supposed to swerve. But when I saw it, it didn't register in my head what it was. I seriously thought it was a pedestrian or something.

OT: Try not to go close to the speed limit, but don't go too slow (obviously). That way, hitting something won't kill you as much as whatever the forget you're hitting (hopefully you don't hit them in the first place). Slow down or stop if you see something.

Oh, and you can have your highbeams on if there's low risk of blinding other drivers.

Living in fear.
You're going to be one of those people who saves all their money and are still rich when they die.
