I thought the rule of thumb was, if it's lower than the hood, run it over and if it's over the hood try to avoid it. Obviously, if there's no room or if there are obstacles in the way, you have to plow into the creature. I've got a new driver coming on line and 3 more to follow and that's what I plan to teach them.
And no, I don't subscribe to the theory that people are too stupid to learn proper driving techniques (like our 3rd political party, the bureaucrats do). It's a matter of training and thinking when you find yourself in a bad situation. ...Kevin 87 300TD 278k mi Mike Canfield said: > I have seen the same thing done to miss deer around here.........What > idiots!
