I thought about posting this in the womens forum (but didn't want to start a riot)

See, now you're going to have a line of guys waiting to give you their "truckload of cream filling."



Ugh, i didn't even think about that when i posted it. I'm really not a chocoholic. I love snack cakes with cream filling. Thats my weakness. (I think my tummy is proof of that) :P

Damn man... the idiot driver should have just smashed the deer out of the way! A deer is not going to do much damage to an 18 wheeler cab is it? :S

A little ironic that M&M/Mars Co. has a driver whose name is Nestlerode?

Do I smell a conspiracy?



Upon first glance I thought the road the truck crashed on was "Nestlerode" and that it must be the entrance road to the Nestle factory! :P

And on the cream filling mess....just let a bunch of skydivers at it!! Oh, the stories that could come out of -that- one!! :ph34r:

Not nearly as much as the damage done by his burt renold's driving skill.



from personal experience, yes, it can do quite a bit if damage (unless you have a 'roo bar), but significantly less than having the trailer fall off.

Slam on the brakes if needed should you ever have to avoid hitting an animal, but under no circumstances should you put your life and others on the line by swerving.

I've hit a deer before. I got lucky. I saw it trying to cross the road slightly in front of me. I had no time to brake, and rather than hit it dead on, I sped up to deflect it, and it bounced off my front left quarter panel and door. Got a nice deer head-sized dent in the quarter panel (no antlers, whew!) and a small one in the door. It even ran off.

I use the same rule when driving in the neighborhood. There are sometimes other cars out there. Keep the wheels straight. Why wreck someone else's car just to keep a stupid animal alive? The cops will tell you the same thing.

i was travelling at about 60 on a dark, rainy night. saw the deer running down the shoulder so i got on the brakes a bit, then he hung a left in front of me. i got him with the fender of the truck resulting in some cracked fibreglass, a bent bumper and a pair of headlights got snapped off. stopping was not an option (115000 pounds doesn't stop very quick), nor was putting 48000 litres of gasoline into the ditch. according to the driver of the car behind me, the deer rolled down the shoulder for about 150 yards.

You are a smart man Dave. That forum is getting out of control again. Posting it here in the BonFire was the best idea.
