Don't swerve??!! Blindly plow ahead??? Screw that!!!
Monday, a doe came from the left side of the highway, I was doing about 50. Hit the brakes, slowed down to abt 20, and as soon as I was sure she wasn't gonna swap ends, I went for the left lane, no cars coming. Missed her by a scant 10 feet or so. Got out of that no damage, and a big respect for good brakes and tires. All over in about 2 seconds total, from first seeing her, and pulling back to right lane.
If I was driving my "beater Camry", I'd have smacked her for sure.
