On my way back from work tonight still light doing 75 behind a Citron trying to light a ciggy with the car lighter. ( now this experience is all about If I'd ) Now normaly this bit of road right where I was I would pull out and overtake as its a long straight. Then right out of the wood line on the left side a MASSIVE stag Fallow deer ( they are about the size of a small cow ) ran out with such speed BANG, the Citron hit it dead front centre of the car. I heard the bang and crunch from my car. The deer flew about 3ft above his roof and all I could see was this mass coming to me. Lord knows how but it flew over my roof and to the side ditch. Holy Shitt. The car stagered to a stop and I pulled up behind him with the four ways on. Matey got out looked at me and all he could do is wipe his brow and say Phew. Anyway I checked he was fine but I was gob smacked at the damage. He has written off the car. Like he had hit a wall, the whole front end was folded up in half. Luck man.
To be honest apart from the WOW factor I was'nt that bothered but when I got home all I have been thinking about is what if's
I have a Mazda RX8, they are really low, I would have had that thing go through my windscreen, I took the car today instead of the bike cause I overslept and it was quicker to jump in the car rather than put the bike gear on, and it go's on.
Live every day like its your last
