hah, that lady is awesome. looks like she freaked a bit when the 2nd deer did it's natural thing of freezing. Not sure if her plan at the end was to terrify it enough to sprint off, but the flip over the bars seems to have worked.
She made sure to record herself doing it. I'm surprised she shared the second one.

Contrary to the captions it was the same deer. It ran away and got stuck in another fence seconds after she freed it the first time. It probably did this successfully a few times before it got too big to fit and it's just programmed into the little ah heck.


Edit: Anandtech censors the word b-u-g-g-e-r? Weird. "Little b-u-g-g-e-r" is a term of endearment and has nothing to do with sodomy. ;)

This thread is creating it's own content now... or at least its Tapatalk ads are.

Edit: That's weird... the actual eBay item doesn't show the poof.

^^ The only thing funny about those pics are the fact you have ads.
You don't think it's amusing that someone in the process is essentially vandalizing eBay's ads with immature pseudo-humor?

I paid for Tapatalk Pro back in 2013 but they didn't carry over my license. Still, using a mobile web browser is way more intrusive to the user experience even with an ad filter.

And the 2nd car did too even after seeing the wreck...wth, people?
Based on the various idiots that nearly crashed into me over the past week (one like the above example), I'm starting to feel like one of the few people who actually pay attention on the road.
Oh, and I'm all for making it a felony to drive and use your phone at the same time - retards.

It's a pretty easy thing to do. And, generally, pretty easy to do without hitting the other car. I cut pavement markings all the time, sorry not sorry. But I've never come remotely close and tend to not cut anywhere near as much as those two cars did when there is a car present in that lane. Even if the first driver never saw the approaching car until the last minute, it's stupid easy to adjust course and swerve to the right.

Then you're a shitty driver like the others. It's not hard to square off your turns.

Psh - I knew I'd get at least that reaction.

You know what's even easier than cutting lines or even squaring off turns? NOT HITTING ANOTHER CAR
The ability to drive skillfully, with purpose, and safely, doesn't require perfect adhesion to pavement markings. Because smart driving involves adapting to the situation when necessary, whether due to pedestrians, cars, weather, illumination, visibility in general, etc. If cutting a corner means hitting another car - that's a very easy thing to correct for, by not cutting the corner into the other driver's path. It's brilliantly simple for anyone remotely paying attention.

People who struggle with anticipation of future location of bodies in motion, on the other hand, probably just shouldn't be driving. Because that's all this takes. That, and a respect for the road and the rolling 2-ton death machine they are driving.

Otherwise when it's obviously safe to do so, cutting corners will mean more efficient turns at higher speed which can be necessary to safely execute some turns based on traffic. Can also be more efficient for the tires to use all of the available pavement for turns even when it's low speed. It's just another thing that can be done that doesn't reflect anything on a driver's awareness. It can cause issues when done by unsafe drivers in the wrong situations, but frankly rolling in a straight line can trip up those same drivers due to a lack of critical skill and/or awareness, or otherwise their overall alertness and wakefulness. Driving in general should come with a particular attitude while piloting said rolling death machines, but that's not respected by many drivers. Many just aren't cut out to drive and licensing standards should be far more difficult.
