Deer are too god damn unpredictable. I have had a couple of close calls but I tend to keep my foot out of it and drive defensively. I had one run along side of the car and cut right in front of me.
Unfortunately this is a case of a bad thing happening for no apparent reason. Deer try to bolt across roads because of the amount of traffic. Deer do not like motion they cannot recognize around them at all. It really sucks for the motorcyclist more than the stupid deer! |
