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?

aight what's your strategy for hitting a giraffe, then?

Same for a moose? Speed up so you clear it before gravity caves your car roof.

You maintain speed, you can’t maneuver well if braking, and as stated your hood dips while braking too which can cause worse issues.

The whole premise of ABS brakes, which all cars made in North America since 2012 will have, is specifically to allow you to maintain control when you fully apply the brakes. Unless you are a professional driver or have a car without ABS, you should just fully apply the brakes in an emergency stop. Please stop telling people that fully applying the brakes will reduce manueverability when it won't for the majority of drivers in the developed world.

And if someone's vehicle doesn't have ABS, they should know how to properly brake without locking their tires, and when it won't be appropriate to use them.

That's a good strategy to ensure you die: a mooses torso is already higher than the hood of a lot of SUVs, so you're taking a moose to the face.

Troll comment.

You do that - you die.

No, for moose you are actually supposed to swerve and risk the ditch.

I don't know, where I live giraffes are only in the zoo and thus never on the road. I'm not aware of any escaping the zoo.

I'm sure if I lived around wild deere, my training would include that, but since I don't I was able to save some time by not learning that.

What if you're driving through a zoo though?

[-] bluGill@fedia.io 1 points 10 hours ago

I've never been in a zoo I'm allowed to drive more thln e wheelchair through. They may require extra training - I would not know
