    Never swerve to avoid anything that isn’t human

    I might swerve some to miss a moose, whereas there are a couple humans I know that I might like to see crossing the road on foot in front of me.

    Yes, moose are a lot different than little deer. They probably will take out a truck.

    You assume he's telling the truth. Would anyone here roll a semi to miss a deer? No.

    I hit deer every year. Company won't buy a guard They just replace the bumpers and grills. Don't swerve and only slow down when it's safe to do so.

    Just nailed one outside of Tomah, Wisconsin a month and a half ago.Along I 94, it seems like every half a mile to every 3/4 of a mile there is deer roadkill in some form or another.You don’t even have to go hunting for them,just pick up the bloody chunks off the hammer lane on the interstate!

    Your insurance company would tell you to run over the human if it’s in your lane. Or not to leave your lane to avoid it at the very least.
