Double post, sorry!

This argument depends on the type of vehicle you are driving. If you are driving a truck or suv then 104 is right the added height of the hood will likely cause you to slam into the side of the deer so you should brake which would just send the deer flying forward. Whereas if you were driving something lower to the ground like a Camaro then 101 is right, you should speed up because if you brake in a Camaro the front of your car would likely hit the deer in the legs causing the animal to land on your hood and slide up your windshield.

Legally, you're not supposed to swerve in that case. If the animal is as tall as your front bumper, you're supposed to brake, and if it's smaller, you're supposed to stop. One of my friends broke her arm and collarbone a few years back when she swerved to avoid a deer and lost control of her car. Needless to say, braking is safer.

Should've hit the dog

Next time you'll remember not to risk YOUR life over a dog. Dumbass!

You should've hit the dog. It probably growled at you because it WANTED to die.

That is when you kick the shit out of the dog and rip it's nuts off.

I would have growled at you too if you almost hit me!

You saved its life. A little bit of damage to your car is worth it.

YDI That's why you use the brakes, not swerve...
