I bet 100 bucks that same safety dept is gonna throw their driver under the bus for hitting a deer. Saying it was preventable
Boondock Thanks this. -
With one of my previous trucks I’ve hit:
3 deer(2 does & 1 juvenile 5 point buck)
2 raccoons that have gone to the trash cans in the sky
1 possum that’s playing dead for real
1 bird of prey (possibly a Cooper’s hawk)
1 squirrel and to top it all off
1 armadillo (was in Texas Hill Country).
For all of those- I didn’t swerve once.austinmike, Sirscrapntruckalot, D.Tibbitt and 2 others Thank this. -
I run a chemical tanker and I wouldn't swerve to miss a car much less a deer

Maybe they thought saving the best tip for last was a good idea, but how many drivers are going to actually read the whole thing? I would put the most important one first. If you don't drive faster than you can see ahead of you, none of the other tips really matter.
