Almost hit a deer

On route 17 south in nj. I was on my cruise control laying back in my seat because it was like 3:30 in the morning. It was set for 55, the speed limit. All of a sudden this black blob comes running across the highway not farther than 35 feet in front of me. I jam on my breaks and slow down to 40. It was the scariest thing in my life. Also it was really foggy out too so visibility was pretty poor. Thank god he was running across because if not he would've been mowed down, and my car would be totaled

the scariest thing of my life is when I put one through the window of my 99 S10, the worst part is that I had 2 beers about an hour earlier and I was only 18. I've never been so paranoid in my life. Thank God it was never an issue when the trooper showed up.

Yeah I was little layed back because it was early in the morning and I was going home. But when that happened I slowed down to 50 the whole time and I was paying attention to everything. I even lowered the radio.

Deer Suck. My family hits one a year at least. My dad had a new Dodge pickup, and in the middle of July he hit one! Nobody hits deer in July!

I'm glad no one got hurt though... tip, if ur on a 2 lane road (both lanes going in the same direction) stay away from the lane closes to the curb!!! drive on people

22? Hopefully thats a typo! Otherwise, that car must win 'the most deer-prone car ever award'
