The shape of the vehicle's front end will play a factor here too. I've heard stories of people going fast enough to send a deer flying over top of their car, however in every one of these stories it's a a sports car with a front end that basically made the car a big wedge, so speeding up may make sense if you have a car like this. However if you drive a truck I can only see more damage happening, unless you sit high enough to drive over top of it; but I can see some serious safety hazards with that too, especially if it's a narrow road with other traffic present or a steep enbankment off the shoulder of the road.





Either way hitting a deer is going to cause a fair amount of damage to your vehicle, I suppose you could try the speeding up idea if no one's watching, I can see tickets happening if someone were to see you speed up for a deer and opened their mouth..... So my vote is slow down, it's why we have auto insurance. The big thing is don't swerve! That's where the bad accidents happen, you're always safer hitting a deer head on than at an angle.
Yes it is safer to hit the gas and hit the deer then it is to brake or try to avoid it, it is safer to take the hit because if you slam the brakes you can get rear ended and still wined up hitting the deer, if you try to avoid it you can lose control and flip the car or get hit by someone in the other lane.


A person in my school learned this the hard way about 2 months ago, he just had gotten his drivers license and his first car, he was driving home after a soccer practice and two deer jumped in front of him, he jerked the wheel and lost control, he flipped twice in the air and landed in a ditch, he was unbelievably lucky, the drivers seat was the only part not crushed into a pancake.
It is not, unless you are certain you can get around the deer without hitting it. Adding more speed to the equation is only going to increase the damage to your vehicle and possibly to yourself. I tried that once when I lived in a very rural area and the stupid deer actually ran into the side of my car and damn near flipped me - probably because I was going so much faster.





And seriously? You can't handle any 'childlike answers'? Why are you even on the internet?? If you can't learn to take the good and ignore that which you find distastefull then GTFO the net.





As a lesson in the above, I've given you some of both. Cheers!
Well, my ex girlfriend along with her father and brother, my step father, and many others I know are truck drivers. They all say the same thing-just keep driving like it isn't there. If you hit your brakes or swerve you're more likely to get in a serious accident. Just plow right into it and hope for the best. Let the thumbs down roll from all the PETA freaks.
This is my understanding as well. The theory is if you slow down the deer will end up in your lap kicking the crud out of you. If you speed up, it will send the deer fly over the car or away form you.





Anyhow, I never had it happen but who knows.
this is not true. i know this because they tried it on mythbusters. what they found was the faster the car was going the deer is more likely to fly into the top part of the windshield which will cause severe head trauma.
You don't want to step on the gas, But don't slam on your brakes ether. Also do not swerve to avoid hitting a deer or any other animal.
