Re: Always keep your visor down

Ugh!?! I've never considered keeping the visor down for something like that ... but may have to re-think it?! (esp. at wildlife tracks like Calabogie and Mosport ... even DDT! ).

Re: Always keep your visor down

I've hit two deer at highway speeds in the last 5 years, fortunately neither resulted in a windshield puncture seeing as I was without helmet!

Re: Always keep your visor down

A few weeks ago, two minutes from Shannonville, wife and I slowed down to admire a deer feeding a few hundred yards off the road. The deer bolted towards the highway into the path of an oncoming pickup. Not something we wanted to witness. Damage to the truck was minimal...bumper and valance. The driver had no idea what had happened.
The deer had broken hips. OPP was called to put the deer out of it's misery.

It happens fast.

Re: Always keep your visor down

I hit a deer about 8 years ago in a Swift entering the 403 in Hamilton. Antlers blew out the windshield, airbags went off, glass in my eyes and the rear view mirror bounced off the side of my head. He was standing in the middle of the York Street underpass that curves down and under York street and in an S shape and then dumps down onto the 403. I turned into the tunnel and BANG. Between the airbag smoke and glass in my eyes it was IFR mode. Stopped the car before hitting the guardrail at the exit of the underpass. Lucky for me an OPP was heading home after court duty and stopped and took a statement and called MTO to pick up the carcass. The Suzuki was a write off with a caved in rad, hood, two air bags set off and windshield gone. Cop complained he had been going up north for several weeks deer hunting without any luck. I replied, "Use a Suzuki next time'. He got a laugh out of that. Picked up a rental car after being dropped off by the flatbed driver back in Hamilton. Don't remember the drive home to Mississauga in it at all. Took several weeks to get rid of dizzy spells. Don't really mind deers so much as hate rearview mirrors...

Re: Always keep your visor down

My scariest ride ever on my Motorcycle was hitting a deer on Derry Rd on my way to work.

My bike was a GS550, there was damage, but I made it to work.

after seeing that vid.....man I could have had so many different endings to that day
