Don't trust them!!!!! Was coming home to Indiana from Ohio early this morning on the toll road and a deer landed right in front of me...no time to break or swerve and a fraction of a second and amazing leaping skills saved his/her life and maybe mine!!! I couldn't help thinking about the fact that I'm not a speeder (Hell, I even make complete stops at signs...James Dean, I'm not!) and that if I'd been going just 5 miles faster per hour it might have changed my future forever. Just a silly thought though......if I'd been driving at the minimum speed of 45 instead of 65 I'd not even had to think about braking...LOL!!!
Point is....those animal alerts are not something to be dependent upon so, be careful!!!

I'm fine. I just wanted to pop in and say 'hi'. I haven't been posting much, but it's good to see you here when I do.
I have no comment on your thread topic really, only to say that I'm glad you're okay.

Look at it another way - if' you'd have been going faster you would have been well past the spot where it jumped out when it did

Been there
My car got wrecked once because of a deer. Easter Sunday 1999. The deer survived and ran off into the woods. It isn't any fun thats for sure, causes lots of damage.
Glad you missed it Mac. About the Sensors.........I think you have to be going fast enough for wind to blow thru them, for them to work.
Been there, aka Speed Racer.
