Sad story indeed!

The county I live in has the most car-deer collisions in the state. I can't tell you how many times I have missed by inches in my daily drivers, almost always at highway speeds, and with no time to react. I have seen one to many, bad roll over accidents at highway speeds, that I will do just about anything to stay pointed straight ahead. Knowing how the windscreen is attached, I hope I never have to rely on that stopping anything big.
