See, I've heard that speeding up a little actually does work, because it gives your car a bit of levarage to "lift" the big animal over the hood and windshield so they have a greater chance to fly off the top rather than just bashing in to the front. I have no idea if that's true though

I feel bad for my FIL because if there's a car accident involving a deer and he responds to the call (he's a cop) he has to take care of the deer. Meaning, if the deer is not dead from the impact he has to shoot it.

My sister was in the front talking to my mom at the time it happened, and she says she saw the deer just before it impacted, and when it smashed into the car his face hit the window and his tongue was sticking out.

I love how being financially stabble is one of the qualities she listed why a girl should be a MOH....

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: opinions : I have heard this before, but I don't think that's true. The don't swerve part is true, but speed up? No. Although what do I know, I just hit a freaking deer two weeks ago. It sucked, and I do not feel sorry for that stupid thing, it just threw itself in front of my car!

See, I've heard that speeding up a little actually does work, because it gives your car a bit of levarage to "lift" the big animal over the hood and windshield so they have a greater chance to fly off the top rather than just bashing in to the front.
I have no idea if that's true though
ETA: or what Steph said

It's the exact opposite of that.

But how are you supposed to make your man sandwiches from the dog kennel?
Does not compute!

That happened to my mom last year. Huge buck, smashed in her driver side window. No other damage.

Yeah I think I said it completely wrong, but I was getting at the same idea you were.
I can't explain physics.

<div>When I was 10 my dad and I hit a deer in our jeep on the way to the airport. He got out of the car, looked at it and got back in, then said to me as I'm bawling hysterically, "Em if we werent on our way out of town, we'd be having venison for dinner."</div><div>
</div><div>I feel your hick pain.</div>
It all happens so quickly though, how would you be able to accelerate at the last second? It all happens in a second.
Bio, now with married pics...

That happened to my mom. A deer hit the suburban right in the driver's side door. My sister was in the front talking to my mom at the time it happened, and she says she saw the deer just before it impacted, and when it smashed into the car his face hit the window and his tongue was sticking out. She said it happened in slow motion, lol. She screamed.
