The point is some accidents are not the result of any wrong doing.


Deer signs are posted wherever they are a problem. A prudent and safe driver will decrease their speed especially at night so as to avoid hitting a deer or worse swerving into oncoming traffic to avoid hitting it. Many times I leave my home early morning before dawn. Typically I'll do 10 mph below the limit on this 2 lane highway because I've seen many a deer cross my path during that time. A reckless driver won't care and will go 10 or 20 over the limit and hit one. I've seen it. I don't consider that an accident.
