Change of training facility.

How did you not mention that before telling us how you got to the hotel early and checked in?

 

I'm sorry for your situation. It could be an insurance thing, similar to an applicant with a recent accident on their record.

 

Did you get a police report? With that much damage I certainly would hope so. I would think that would be sufficient proof to the safety dept that an animal was the cause of the accident, however when I was in law enforcement I would have still issued a failure to maintain control citation. Too many people lie their ##### off about "deer" running out and are simply driving like morons. I know it's instinct, but always hit the #### thing if its in your path. Hard to deny deer hair all over the front of the vehicle.

 

I got out of a speeding ticket years ago cause i nailed a deer. Was speeding had cruise set at 70 in a 55 cop rolled in behind me. I knew i was getting a ticket than a deer comes out in front of me. The brush gaurd layed the deer flat and i went over it. The squad car tailgaiting me running my plates got full hit. Cop looked at me and said you were going to get a ticket but now i have more paperwork to deal with your lucky day.

No damage excpet for a few scratched on my truck, squad car had a good amount of damage.

 

Wow.. lol.. Yea I used to give people breaks if they said a deer ran out, but soon quickly caught on to the scheme. I'm sure some were honest, but more were lying I felt. I'd look around to find any evidence I could find to verify their story (tracks, hair) anything, but if found none they got a fail to maintain. According to the state whether an animal runs out or not, you're still expected to maintain control of your vehicle.

 

I maintained full control of the truck. I slowed down pulled over after hitting it. I think the cop felt a bit embarresed due to if he wasn't tailgating he would of avoided it.

 

Heh....as Roehl says in the driver safety manual, "Drive through the animal." Seriously, those are the exact words.
