And for anyone out there who doesn't know A12's background, him saying "If you think you could avoid this then you're a better rider than me..." means you'd have to be world class... and still really lucky.
Outside of seeing that deer at roadside so you could be aware, no chance with the conditions that you could avoid a collision. Grab a handful of front brake and the front end tucks and you go sliding across the opposite lane into the trees.
No chance I'd have avoided it either and I have a similar background as A12, national level racing.
Why are deer so stupid that they like to run in front of lights? Someone should get an educational program together for them akin to the crossing streets poems/videos for kids. LOL
