Knowing that a deer will cause damage to one's car—or worse—how could anyone not slow down?

APS:

It is very easy to hit a deer. I have done it myself. They are dark and move like lightning often directly into the path of a car without hesitation. Even the insurance companies realize that it is often not the driver's fault and they acknowledge this by not counting a deer/car collision as a moving violation/accident on the driver's policy. At least that was my experience here in Massachusetts.
