FYI to whom it matters. Not all drivers going 70 mph on I-75 can or do avoid dead animals or debris in the road. Possible reasons may include, but are not limited to, items being located in a shadow, blending in with surrounds, driver misjudged distance to object by being surrounded by distractions, moving or bright objects attracting driver attention away from stationary objects that drivers don't perceive as a threat, etc.
Also, has anyone ever hit the accelerator harder than intended, or gotten closer to the car or object in front, or had you foot slip off the brake pedal accidentally? You may not have had an accident, but you could have.
