At which speed the deer would simply have been vapourised on impact and you'd have continued with your journey. -- ogden | gsxr1000 | rgv250

If my 'protective clothing' was ripped to shreds after sliding down the road, I'd be really pissed off with it. Surely the fact that it was ripped to shreds shows it was rubbish kit. -- Champ We declare that the splendour of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed.

If he'd been doing 90, the deer would have run across about quarter of a mile[1] behind where he was at that point in time... [1] An arbitrary distance -- Chris
