Deer signs were not posted where I lived previously and there were a substantial amount of deer. Even in those locations where deer signs exist and speed is reduced, there is still the possibility of a deer collision and that is an accident where blame cannot be assigned. If someone is speeding then blame can be assigned because they are violating the law.

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.
