Hitting deer with sports car?
Guest 8 February 2005 03:15:48
	How dangerous is it to hit a dear with a low ground clearance sports car compared to a normal height car? My biggest fear is the animal coming right through the windshield. Is this a legitamate concern? My car is 2000 Toyota Celica GT. I suppose there are other cars that have it much worse like a miata?! Also what about bigger animals like elk etc? Thx! ========================================== http://web.peoriadesignweb.com/drivingtips Safe Driving Tips and Articles

	Years ago I tagged a deer in an Eagle Talon. Only the popup headlights being in the raised position kept the animal off the hood. A coworker driving an identical car had a similar incident. This one, though, was with the lights in the recessed position. The deer ended up in the back seat. Literally. She took some photos of it. Blood everywhere. Very ugly.

What if it landed in the drivers seat? What kind of injury could the driver expect? Thx!

To prevent it you would need a "roll cage" extending up over the windshield. I've never seen this & doubt it would be street legal. Of course, a really small sports car like the MG Midget has been known to go right between the legs of a moose & out the other side. Saw this on America's Funniest Home Videos.

Saw this on>America's Funniest Home Videos. DO NOT hit the deer. Learn to drive slower in areas where there are likely going to be deer. Learn to drive FOR CONDITIONS. Some people seem to think that they can drive with their foot to the floor all the time and then wonder why they hit a deer. I live in a rural area, and see hundreds of deer on the roads. I have never hit one. It's too bad that deer cant sue people. Imagine the mate of the deer you just killed suing you for destroying their family..... Imagine having to pay child support for all the offspring, and having to pay the mate a few million for pain and suffering. Or, if the deer that you hit survives, you'd have one whoping vet bill, and may have to pay for the care of a handicapped deer for the rest of it's life. Once again, learn how to drive FOR CONDITIONS, and you wont damage your car by hitting a deer, and you wont inflict pain on an animal who is only doing what deer have done since the beginning of time. If you are incapable of doing this, please ONLY drive your car in the city on the interstate freeways that are surrounded by concrete barrier walls and ten foot or taller fencing. Jim
