Friend of mine got tired of her husband hitting deer and rolling the car, so when it came back from the shop the last time, she attached 4 wheels from old skateboards to the top 4 corners of the car and told him that was in case he rolled it again.![]()
That is funny!
I think that was the first deer I ever saw here, in Ireland. They saw the oncoming vehicle and stopped, staring at me. I was driving a Renault Megane Scenic at the time (crap car). Not the most responsive vehicle with speeding up or slowing down. I did what I could, told DS to hang on tight and slammed on the brakes as hard as I could. I stopped within a few inches of those deer, who stood there throughout, staring at me. I sat and uttered a few blue words and they, well, I didn't ask their opinions, before they ran off. I got to the rental property still shaking and told the owner what happened. He said that stretch of road is notorious for deer. Unusual for Ireland. Sheep on the roads is the biggest hazard here. The farmers let them roam loose everywhere and I had two close shaves with them as well.
