When you see a deer, floor it

If you swerve, you could hit a tree and kill the S and possible your self.

If you hit the brakes, the deer will come crashing into the windshield as you hit it.

If you floor it, you can get enough speed to catapult the deer completely over the car.
Guess you didn't see the mythbuster episode. Flooring it won't make it catapult over the car. It will cause more damage though!

I decided to "hit" a raccoon last yr in my Golf GTI while going from Toronto to Chicago -- I couldn't safely swerve in time.

I ended up doing $3000 worth of damage as the bugger got in through the grill and did ALL sorts of damage in the engine bay.

So, doesn't matter what you do, stuff happens!

Animals die when you hit them, most trees dont
