OK, its just a deer, but the future is clear. These things are going to start kill people left and right.

How many kids is Elon going to kill before we shut him down? Whats the number of children we’re going to allow Elon to murder every year?

        I don’t think hitting more gas is going to gently slide the 300 pound buck under my car. It’s just going to increase the impact force.

          Sliding the deer under your car is also really bad for you. It’s going to do a lot of damage under there such as ripping break lines, destroying ball joints, or fragging your differentials. You need to safely shed as much speed as possible while maintaining your lane when about to hit a deer.

          Considering suspension, if you accelerate there’s a lowering of the back of the car/raising of the front.

          Conversely, breaking has the opposite effect, increasing the chances of the deer rolling over your hood and through your windshield.

          You’ll want to minimize that, hence the acceleration.

            Read the other comments in this thread for why it doesn’t work like that

            When you learn how to drive you’ll understand why everything you’re saying is nonsense.
