OK, its just a deer, but the future is clear. These things are going to start kill people left and right.

How many kids is Elon going to kill before we shut him down? Whats the number of children we’re going to allow Elon to murder every year?

    You learned wrong if you think that is a universal rule for all animals.

    You might have been told that for small animals like squirrels, but that is more about not overreacting. You should absolutely brake for a deer, whether or not you are being tailgated, just like you would brake for any large object on the road.

    Hitting a deer at speed is going to cause far more problems for you AND the people behind you than trying to not hit the deer.

      You’re probably right. I encountered maybe 2 or 3 deers running out in front of my car so far, and I hit the breaks every time in pure reflex anyway.

      Dodged them so far, but damn I’m scared I might hit one at some point.
