dumb people that hit deer

[SlowNA06]

didn't see it til it was too late with the dark/fog

If I'm not mistaken, Bill's points were that those are good reasons to not do 80mph. He hit a stationary object because he was going too fast to react in those conditions. He'd have been toast if it was a leaping deer.

This. If you can't stop or get out of the way of a stationary object in the road, you are either going too fast or not paying attention. Regardless of the guy hitting the deer and leaving it there, you are just as much at fault.
