My slow driving saved a life today
Driving today after dark at about 20 mph on a road where the SL was 20
and a mule deer ran right in front of me and stopped there and just looked at me. I hit the brakes and it slowly walked off. So i saved a deer life which in war-criminal-bushamerica nowadays is prolly like saving 5 human lives. |

If the deer had once stepped on broken glass while crossing a road after dark, this time he was probably waiting for headlights so he could see to cross safely. When he stopped, he wasn't looking at you. He couldn't see you because you were shining your lights in his eyes. Without seeing your face, how could he judge your character or intentions? That's how you confused him. He didn't know whether it was safe to continue across. Your headlights belong on a pole extending ahead of the car. They should be pointed back toward you so you can see the pavement while deer (and humans) can see your face. (This is *expecially* important during Condition Yellow in the War on Terror.) The deer would not have needed to run out in front of you if you had had headlights in back, creating an illuminated crossing zone behind you. I have found that this also reminds impatient drivers not to tailgate me. -- Until next time, Marcey |

Judy would have safely passed without incident a few minutes before the deer crossed since he would have been at that spot in the road a few minutes before the deer was. Since he was driving so slow, the met up at the same time at the same place. |

Yes, but never deliberately. In fact i got a speeding ticket about 5 years ago for doing 41 in a 25. I just about kicked the cops teeth in cause i was sure he was lying.
