Sounds terrifying. When I hit mine, he jumped out from between some shrubberies, so my first visual indicator that a deer was going to cross my path was when he was already crossing my path. By the time I moved my foot over to the brakes, I whacked his butt with the left side of my car (he ran from right to left.) He

This is true. All I know is every time I go home to NJ (Hunterdon County), I am reminded of how ridiculous the deer problem is there. I mean, I’m not joking when I say it’s not uncommon for there to be multiple herds of deer along a two-mile stretch of road.

If you have it worse there, I probably wouldn’t buy anything

41,000 deer were legally hunted in NJ 2016, lol. 53,000 in 2015. 52,000 in 2014. THEY JUST KEEP COMING.

I lived in Blacksburg, Virginia for 7 years and drove into West Virginia quite a few times. You cannot even begin to compete with NJ. I know it doesn’t make any sense, but that’s how it is. It’s weird. I don’t know how it’s possible. There are deer on the side of the road every 500 feet in the more rural areas of NJ.

Same. I had a 1998 Outback, with the big, round fog lights. Replaced them with PIAA driving lights specifically to see deer better at night, lol.

I’ve hit a deer, my mom hit two in the span of a month, my dad had a deer land on his hood after coming to a complete stop, my brother hit one... my friend totaled his car hitting one... then hit another one with his new car. I once watched a minivan hit a deer so hard the deer flew OVER the telephone wires and landed

Humans aren’t the biggest threat to your safety while driving in New Jersey. That title is reserved for the deer. The deer in NJ are EVERYWHERE. I spend 97% of my time driving in NJ looking for deer, and 3% looking for cops.

Paint under dirt is paint. Rubbing dirt rubs the dirt onto the paint under the dirt, which scratches the paint. So when you rub the dirt, you’re actually rubbing the paint. With dirt. You’re basically using dirt to rub an image into the paint.

Hopefully that clarifies things.

I hope you don’t have a CDL. Situational awareness is JUST AS IMPORTANT when driving a large vehicle, as it is when driving a small one. Especially considering that, as you stated, the large vehicle cannot stop as well, which means if something happens ahead of you, a sudden lane change might be your only option to

If this truck driver is that useless at looking in his mirrors, then he really needs to have his CDL taken away. There is NO excuse for going that long without seeing this.

And no, I haven’t driven two-trailer trucks, but I have driven articulated buses, and there’s NO reason why that area should be a blind spot for

Lol. I will admit this isn’t the most legible photo of the plate, but I thought the snow made it even more appropriate.

Meh. I still prefer my silly plate to just a random jumble of letters and numbers...

If they’re sitting 1 foot away from the steering wheel...

Literally everything uses physics to move you around.

I honestly can’t tell whether or not this is sarcasm.

Has this been uploaded anywhere else, now that YouTube took it down?

I think the issue is that people treat cars differently than other things when it comes to this discussion, and I’m not sure why.

You don’t buy a 12-seat table for your kitchen because twice a year you host extended family for the holidays.

You don’t buy an 8-bedroom home because you occasionally have friends visit.

You

Badger, badger, badger, badger, MUSHROOM! MUSHROOM!

Sorry, couldn’t help myself.

Are there any detailed photos of the headlamps? I’m actually most curious about that setup now. Those look insane.
