Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C7 Forum - View Single Post - Animals hurling themselves in front of my car

Must be something in the air, I've had a lot of animals (and other drivers) hurling themselves in front of my car lately. Several drivers pulling out in front of my when there clearly isn't time. A few dogs jumping out in the road.

Yesterday on the way to go have dinner with my Dad and Grandma, I came over a hill to see a deer walking out into the road. Got on the brakes hard, ABS kicked in, came to a stop about 5ft before the deer standing in my lane making no effort to move... Got underway again, only to hit a medium sized bird that flew out in front of me at 60mph a few miles down from the deer...

No damage that I could find as of yet, sucks either way, but better the bird than the deer.

Anyone else having these random animal in the road problems?
