i think he was driving with the shield up.. said ohhhh Deer and covered his eyes with his arms, it also looks like he was holding the steering wheel with his legs, but i think they buckled pressing against the wheel, steering the car straight


dude is lucky.. he almost got kicked in the face with those long legs!!

Saw a video a while back, might have been a Miata race, where the car ahead picked up a heat shield (sticky tires) and flung it in the windshield of the car that was following with the camera. Glass flew everywhere inside, just like this one with the deer.

If you have a full face helmet, keep the visor down, you never know what will happen.

That video is CRAZY. I can never show that to Nat, she's still not over an incident from a couple of years ago.

Here's our '99 Rolla after Nat used it to murder Bambi's dad on her way home from school. Pitch black... Nat didn't even feel the impact, not a scratch on her. Flipped the deer over the car, no tasty class dust luckily.
