ya she feels pretty bad for the cow but what can you do... if she were to swerve it would have been oak trees or cliffs so she had no other choice..

so just hit whatever is in front of you with your car? what retarded logic is that? its not a ******* bulldozer or snow plow wtf???

You obviously don't live in an area with deer. 9 times out of 10, if a deer crosses your car's path, you're more likely to hit the deer if you swerve than if you just go straight (because the deer will move too). Yes, if she had time to properly identify the animal as a cow, then she should've swerved, but I doubt this was the case.

"Don't veer for deer" is the official position of the Iowa DOT and the Iowa State Patrol.

Well if I did hit a cow, I'd grab for any upside I could find. Steak dinner?

I know out here in NC we have bears and deer that regularly run out into the roads, if you swerve to miss them and wreck in a ditch or something the State Troopers will say you are 100% at fault if there is no evidence of a deer or whatnot.

So they always say to hit what's in the road, don't swerve.

i'd rather hit a ditch then risk my life hitting a deer or bear

(headshake chill dude... ya, swerving is often bad news especially at higher speeds...i know first hand...swerved to avoid a table in the middle of the highway (must have fallen off some guys truck who was moving?) and almost tipped the suv over and killed me and the wife...it was VERY close...i'd hit the table next time!

Imo, you're more likely to get killed falling into a ditch over hitting an animal.

Thank you captain obvious (uhm). I didn't mean that I thought she hit a deer - it's just an example that a lot more people are familiar with. You go out and tell someone not to swerve for a cow and they're gonna look at you like you're high. (nana)
