As for hitting a deer or deers head on I think that is insane. We have had several fatalities in our area where the deer has actually come thru the windshield and the inpact has killed the driver. Animals shorter than bumper heigth maybe?
I still prefer to take my chances hitting the deer head on. Much better chance at survival then hitting a tree head on doing 65 MPH.
The country road near me is curvy and dangerous. The speed limit is 65 MPH. I dodge deer almost every day. I will slow down and swirve a bit if it is safe... but if all else fails I will smack them head on. There is no way I am going off the road and risking my life for a dumb animal.
