Once I was driving on a 2-lane with my girlfriend. Coming around a slight right hand curve, suddenly 3 deer appeared, running in single file, from my right and clearly intent on crossing the road as if there was no traffic. :eek3:

I was too close to stop, and there were 3 of them. I noticed there was a 15 foot gap between the first deer and the second one, so I hit the gas and steered to just clear the rear of the first deer, and drove right between two of them without any contact.

My girlfriend screamed, because when I hit the gas she thought I was trying to hit them. Duh.

Before I hit the gas, I had been doing about 50. The car was an '84 Civic, nothing special, my second Honda.
