i almost ran down a driver who stopped her vehicle suddenly on 466 to carry a turtle to safety.

she is most fortunate she was not carried away

Safety experts will tell you rather than making sudden movements while driving to avoid an animal it is safer to hit the animal because too many people have been killed or badly injured when trying to avoid an animal.

Sounds logical to me and I believe a relief for a family that would have otherwise lamented he should have hit the darn deer and stayed alive
