The delay really seems to be a semi-conscious decision that chewing food > hitting deer.
She had a good primary, keep control of the car, secure the food. Her secondary, she assessed the situation. And finally, she cursed. Kudos.

She realized. Her eyes went. I get that people wanna spin a "BUT TEH APPZ TEH PHONEZ" narrative, but she was fully aware.
She did not have time to steer away. Deer WILL jump in front of you without hesitation. They're dumb that way.
If she HAD tried to, chances are she'd have started swerving AFTER hitting the deer, endangering herself and others.
ouchistubbedmytoe
the people talking about reaction times, she was calm didnt swerve she knew it was about to happen, that probably saved her a major crash.
RenegadeSci
Look at the dangling bits from the mirror. She's breaking hard, so kudos to her.

She was also on the brakes much earlier than it seems at first if you watch what's hanging from the rearview.
Nnoodles
she was calm because she had absolutely no reaction what so ever. Someone probably had to tell her she hit a deer
Oh, so I suppose the early braking wasn't a reaction then?

Loool. If she'd had any facial reaction you would've called her an over-emotional female. Don't deny it.

I don't think it's delayed reaction so much as annoyed exclamation. I'd have been a lot more concerned for the deer personally
SlightlyRelatedToThePost
Why would you be concerned for a deer?
Because... it's a living thing... that can feel fear and pain..?? Is this a joke or
It's also a deer. Deer are pests like roaches, do you feel concerned if someone steps on a roach?
Humans are pests, do you feel bad if someone kills a baby?? That's such a fucked-up viewpoint dude. Of all the things in this world to
Takethejump
Nah, beats swerving. Besides, she had a mouthful of pretzel. Thump! (Chew, chew, chew, swallow) holy fuck!
Shruhgs
Watch the item hanging from her rear view. You can see her start hitting the brakes WAY before she hits it. She did what she could.
Okay. How would you of avoided it.
So you are saying you would have done the exact same thing she did, but you would of done it better. Lol. K. Tells me all I need to know.
GoodDayHomosapiens
Agreed
twozerooz
Her reaction time was perfect.
Flortzweich
Hit a pregnant one once. In a tow truck. Splattered baby deer alllllllll over the place. You're welcome for that visual.
Actually check to see if its dead and you should move it off the road before someone else hits it.
Be sure there's lights on when you do so nobody hits you doing it. ALSO move it well off the road b/c other animals will come to eat road-
kill, possibly also getting hit (we had a lot of scavengers come into wildlife rescue like this) or causing wrecks.
Lynkfox
I donno. Work camera once got me barely missing a dear. 45 seconds later I just look at the driver camera and shout DEER!
Boss cracked up for a solid 25 mins when she saw thr tape

Her reaction time is fine.
laylowdown
She did react in her face just as she hit it, clearly didn’t know what to do about the situation from then on though.
mwbowen
What the fuck would you do?
storytaletime
Depends. If you're with PETA you swerve into oncoming traffic, killing 3 people but saving the deer.
Contundo
Notice the dangling thing in front of the camera ? She starts breaking like 2sec before the impact
zafner
She did exactly the right thing under the circumstances
GrumpyOldMillennial
Its also possible she wasn't the first to hit the deer. Oncoming traffic may have punted it into her. Lots of variables at play here.
Yeah. It looks like the deer is actually upside down when it hit her car.
RailRabbit
Nah that was perfect. No panic, eyes on the road, in control.
Tigorl
Exactly. The biggest danger on the road is when people panic and act impulsively. Staying focused and in control is key. Which she did.
She was eating while driving with one hand. An abundance of proper control does not apply.
maktao
So, shifting a manual with one hand is... Not having control?
MoistenedPenguin
If you know about driving a manual, you know that you don't leave your hand on the shifter. Hand off, switch gears, back to wheel.
Fair enough. I've driven a manual, but, tend to keep my hand on the shifter.... Bad habit.
AlesiaIsTankingAgain
Her physical reaction was immediate, shouting or screaming isn't the first reaction most people go with
Blargbot
Her eye brow reaction was quick, she knew what happened
YourNeighborhoodLesbian
It hit the side of her car, didn't go over the hood. Also came across the road where other cars are traveling and possibly obstructing view
MissAizea
I've center punched deer and they go spinning up and to the side, I don't know the physics behind it though. Driving a civic
Fengor
Obviously deer adhere to the same laws of physics as Team Rocket.
StewedTomaters
Yep. If they're full on running when you clip them they're going to keep going in that direction. Can confirm.
Looks like that pickup blocked the view pretty well, unless it hit the deer into her car
Going frame-by-frame it looks like the deer was upside down when it hit the side of her car so the truck probably hit it.
The truck that passes before the deer hits was probably prohibiting her from seeing it ya goofs.

I had one marijuana. Now I'm bald, gay, and living in the woods with my husband carving chairs for squirrels. Our budget is $1.2 million.
She did slow down, far in advance.
You literally see her slow down, a lot. Watch the string hanging from her mirror, it swings hard as she breaks.
Noodlesocks
You can see her hit the brakes 3 seconds before impact. Maybe 20-60 meters away.
Imgerruinedimger
She very obviously hit the brakes. Look at her mirror ornament. It swings forward an dstays there for a second or two...

DrinkyDrank

SaudadeOfSunday
It was the right move. You don't swerve. Insurance covers hitting a deer. It usually doesn't cover swerving into the bar ditch.
Ryebread91
Yup. React first as the driver then react as a person. Freak out after you're pulled over and safe.
TheFirstThingICouldThinkOf
Unless it's a moose. Then you absolutely do swerve(if it's possible and not into oncoming). Your odds of survival are better in the ditch.
Except for the one handed driving and eating while driving. I'm worried the comments aren't littered with people pointing this out.
PoorBoyChevelle
Many of us eat a donut, smoke a cig, coffee in our lap, and shift gears all at the same time. Driving one handed and eating is casual.
It was the right outcome. I doubt it was a conscious decission on her part tho
One of the things they drill into you in CDL school is swerving is bad. If you swerve to miss the deer and hit a car, you are fucked. If
You nail the deer and damage (or total) the semi then its a non preventable. Always pick the non preventable.
Does not cover if they’re already down either.
RayGiIIette
Unless you can only afford liability. Then you're fucked regardless.
MeatPopsicleMultiPass
As someone who drives a small car and has seen video of deer liquifying a person as it smashes through their windshield... I'm swerving.
bostwickenator
Totally agree, I don't want to be a meat popsicle. If you see something really try hard not to hit it without losing control of your car obv
Bungulus
Just like I've seen videos of situations where not wearing a seatbelt saved a life, it's still a far less likely outcome. Seatbelts for me.
The correct thing to do is speed up. If you brake the deer will go through ur windshield. If u swerve u'll hit something else. So speed up.
ColonelColon
Deer is safer than ground.
manamongstyou
I would rather hit a deer and take the smaller risk rather than hitting another vehicle or a tree/immovable object.
SmolCatDad
Given the alternative things you'd hit, the deer is still the safe one.
Depends on the road. I hit one on I10 at 3am. No vehicles for 20 miles in either direction and 3 lanes. Jumped into my path AFTER I swerved.
acme64
that wasn't a deer that as an assassin
xDEIx
You can swerve with small corrections. Problem is most people over correct and end up rolling their vehicle.
As someone who drove a small car and hit at least 4 deer, you're more likely to survive if you don't swerve.
4?! What do you have against deer?!
Haha, lived in very rural areas, they can be hard to spot and will suddenly jump out of tall grass. I've gotten very good at spotting them
iGotFOLDERS
What do deer have against them is the real question...
Do. Not. Swerve. Jam on the brakes if you can, firmly push and let the ABS chatter, but plow through that bad boy.
. But make a face so the ppl viewing yer dashcam dont think yer off yer meds or something
what? no no brakes. that brings your hood down, and the deer through the windshield.
Huh... I never thought about the angle of attack... Just thinking reducing the force (speed kills and all that)... But yeah, that's a good
Point. I'll have to adjust my strategy (Δ awarded)
icculus760
Deer = comprehensive coverage (if you have it), likely no policy increase. Ditch = single vehicle at fault collision, likely surcharged
PapaStone
Since I found this out its all I carry and I drive through deer country.
Macmashpotato
Yea i would not report it just fix it myself
Same but it also depends on how much damage it causes and age of vehicle. Comprehensive also covers fires, trees etc

BikerMikefromMars
This. I live in the rurals where hitting animals are probably the biggest hazard and the instructors emphasise this. Don't swerve.
Do not swerve and for the love of Jesus if it’s below 30°, don’t slam on the brakes.

gratefulheart
Same thing happened to me, except it was a bear. I wasn’t driving a bear. I almost hit a bear..
nonsensecomment
Thanks was very confused at first
qtRaven
Thank you for clarifying.
Probably due to the fact she is clearly distracted from driving in general, had no time to panic.
BryanwithaYnotanI
Looking at the item on the rear view mirror she is clearly braking, pretty hard too so she sees something and is reacting and not panicking
Inkliest
She seems pretty focused on the road. And she calmly braces for impact before she hits it- I think it was just a “wait until after” reaction
TreeOhhTree
She’s focused on the road. You can tell because you can watch the video....
She's eating while driving one handed showing less than minimum focus on the road. You can tell because you can watch the video.....
ShiftyToaster
So I'm assuming you also can't walk and chew gum at the same time? Since you're having so much trouble comprehending this
DwightKnight
If you can't drive properly while eating a convenience food, then you can't drive properly at all.
You have a point with being one handed. However, it looks like she only takes her eyes off the road when checking the rear view mirror.
And, before dealing with an issue she makes sure she has both hands back on the wheel. Overall, I’d argue she was focused n handled it well.
We don't stop 1 handed people from driving. Or people from driving stick.
polkapowa
This. A dead deer and a ruined bumper is nothing compared to a full frontal collision with another car.
slyvic
For sure. You might drive off the road and hit a tree, then try to prove to the insurance company "but there was a deer on the road".
GloveFullaVaseline
I totalled my car to avoid a deer, full coverage, agent told me next time just hit it. But, it could slide up into the windshield, you ded.
And cause more damage or hurt someone else
stink3rbelle
Looks like it flew into oncoming traffic here. If it was a real deer, I suspect it did plenty of damage to other vehicles.
MrStealUrMeme
I've been repeatedly installing the mindset of never swerving for deer in my daughter for years, and she isn't even old enough to drive yet
RevTang
Agreed, but I have some doubt she ever even saw it until it bounce off her headlight.
cobyjack
Look at her lanyard hanging from mirror. You can tell she's braking a while before contact.
To explain, her eyes don't track/move for anything coming from the shoulder. Don't think the deer would just be chilling there. Gladshe isok
chumbwambatubthumping
You apparently don't know deer. Especially NJ deer. They will wait at the side of the road looking unsuspecting and then run into the side>
I have almost hit a couple. Just luck made me miss it. I meant chilling in the contact zone but ya good point they do chill on the shoulder>
Of your car while you're SITTING IN TRAFFIC AT A FULL STOP! Mofuckin deer ramming into cars left and right in NJ.

These things can appear out of nowhere, usually the edge of woods.

IF you've ever hit a deer you know for damn sure how quick that shit happens. I praise how calm she kept, if she would of swerved or over

GreatestEverAlive
She didnt realize whats happenin. Thats why shes calm
PerpetuityPhoto
She realized. Her eyes went. I get that people wanna spin a "BUT TEH APPZ TEH PHONEZ" narrative, but she was fully aware.
PerpetuityPhoto
She did not have time to steer away. Deer WILL jump in front of you without hesitation. They're dumb that way.
PerpetuityPhoto
If she HAD tried to, chances are she'd have started swerving AFTER hitting the deer, endangering herself and others.
ouchistubbedmytoe
the people talking about reaction times, she was calm didnt swerve she knew it was about to happen, that probably saved her a major crash.
RenegadeSci
Look at the dangling bits from the mirror. She's breaking hard, so kudos to her.
aaaaaadddvvveennnttuurrreeee
Plus the deer is probably hidden behind the truck that is driving down the road in front of the deer?
5TUP1D
She was also on the brakes much earlier than it seems at first if you watch what's hanging from the rearview.
Nnoodles
she was calm because she had absolutely no reaction what so ever. Someone probably had to tell her she hit a deer
5TUP1D
Oh, so I suppose the early braking wasn't a reaction then?
Qualtagh
Loool. If she'd had any facial reaction you would've called her an over-emotional female. Don't deny it.
Cole2999
Did we watch the same video? She calmly grabs the wheel while braking well in advance. She really couldn't haven't produced a better result
Cole2999
Without risking her safety and the safety of other drivers
Sprky08
She was to into what ever she was eating lol
Muffinburgler
It's clearly nighttime. How cognizant are you when you hit something in the dead of night?

As far as driving strategy goes, she gets an A+ ... don’t brake hard, don’t swerve. Maintain a rigid, straight line. Cry after

GenghisKhan2020
As soon as the deer hits her car her eyes bulge a little. She reacted correctly since she didn't swerve but knew what happened.

I'm also a bit worried about her music taste.
Foxcross

Zeus541
Wow, people really cant do anything without someone else bitching about it.
Feralkyn
I don't think it's delayed reaction so much as annoyed exclamation. I'd have been a lot more concerned for the deer personally
SlightlyRelatedToThePost
Why would you be concerned for a deer?
Feralkyn
Because... it's a living thing... that can feel fear and pain..?? Is this a joke or
SlightlyRelatedToThePost
It's also a deer. Deer are pests like roaches, do you feel concerned if someone steps on a roach?
Feralkyn
Humans are pests, do you feel bad if someone kills a baby?? That's such a fucked-up viewpoint dude. Of all the things in this world to
Takethejump
Nah, beats swerving. Besides, she had a mouthful of pretzel. Thump! (Chew, chew, chew, swallow) holy fuck!

Watch the item hanging from her rear view. You can see her start hitting the brakes WAY before she hits it. She did what she could.

Hit a pregnant one once. In a tow truck. Splattered baby deer alllllllll over the place. You're welcome for that visual.
RashOrchid906
Actually check to see if its dead and you should move it off the road before someone else hits it.
Feralkyn
Be sure there's lights on when you do so nobody hits you doing it. ALSO move it well off the road b/c other animals will come to eat road-
Feralkyn
kill, possibly also getting hit (we had a lot of scavengers come into wildlife rescue like this) or causing wrecks.

Her reaction time is fine.
laylowdown
She did react in her face just as she hit it, clearly didn’t know what to do about the situation from then on though.
mwbowen
What the fuck would you do?
storytaletime
Depends. If you're with PETA you swerve into oncoming traffic, killing 3 people but saving the deer.
Contundo
Notice the dangling thing in front of the camera ? She starts breaking like 2sec before the impact
zafner
She did exactly the right thing under the circumstances
GrumpyOldMillennial
Its also possible she wasn't the first to hit the deer. Oncoming traffic may have punted it into her. Lots of variables at play here.
meauho
Yeah. It looks like the deer is actually upside down when it hit her car.
RailRabbit
Nah that was perfect. No panic, eyes on the road, in control.
Tigorl
Exactly. The biggest danger on the road is when people panic and act impulsively. Staying focused and in control is key. Which she did.
Dionysus187
She was eating while driving with one hand. An abundance of proper control does not apply.
maktao
So, shifting a manual with one hand is... Not having control?
MoistenedPenguin
If you know about driving a manual, you know that you don't leave your hand on the shifter. Hand off, switch gears, back to wheel.
maktao
Fair enough. I've driven a manual, but, tend to keep my hand on the shifter.... Bad habit.
AlesiaIsTankingAgain
Her physical reaction was immediate, shouting or screaming isn't the first reaction most people go with
Blargbot
Her eye brow reaction was quick, she knew what happened
YourNeighborhoodLesbian
It hit the side of her car, didn't go over the hood. Also came across the road where other cars are traveling and possibly obstructing view
MissAizea
I've center punched deer and they go spinning up and to the side, I don't know the physics behind it though. Driving a civic
Fengor
Obviously deer adhere to the same laws of physics as Team Rocket.
StewedTomaters
Yep. If they're full on running when you clip them they're going to keep going in that direction. Can confirm.
YourNeighborhoodLesbian
Looks like that pickup blocked the view pretty well, unless it hit the deer into her car
meauho
Going frame-by-frame it looks like the deer was upside down when it hit the side of her car so the truck probably hit it.
aaaaaadddvvveennnttuurrreeee
The truck that passes before the deer hits was probably prohibiting her from seeing it ya goofs.

CorneliusCornwall
I've had a few close calls with deer and this is kinda how I was. Your brain knows what's happening but your body lags
sackofmeat
She didn't even slow down.... and the munchies? ...probably snorting marijuanas.
coalminersknuckle
Revnis
I had heard unless your able to basically stop slowing down does more harm than good as the speed increases the chances it will go over
Fengor
I had one marijuana. Now I'm bald, gay, and living in the woods with my husband carving chairs for squirrels. Our budget is $1.2 million.
twozerooz
She did slow down, far in advance.
Muffinburgler
You literally see her slow down, a lot. Watch the string hanging from her mirror, it swings hard as she breaks.
Noodlesocks
You can see her hit the brakes 3 seconds before impact. Maybe 20-60 meters away.
Imgerruinedimger
She very obviously hit the brakes. Look at her mirror ornament. It swings forward an dstays there for a second or two...

After looking up interior night mode dash cams- I think that was taken at night. We might be seeing more clearly than she could see.

And the deer jumped out from behind the trailer behind that white Chevy pickup going the other way.

bilalss4
She reacted right away, didnt swerve. Just had to chew a little bit before she had the space to say holy fuck
DrinkyDrank
Those things come out of the trees fast, there's no time to react
SaudadeOfSunday
It was the right move. You don't swerve. Insurance covers hitting a deer. It usually doesn't cover swerving into the bar ditch.
Ryebread91
Yup. React first as the driver then react as a person. Freak out after you're pulled over and safe.
TheFirstThingICouldThinkOf
Unless it's a moose. Then you absolutely do swerve(if it's possible and not into oncoming). Your odds of survival are better in the ditch.
Dionysus187
Except for the one handed driving and eating while driving. I'm worried the comments aren't littered with people pointing this out.
PoorBoyChevelle
Many of us eat a donut, smoke a cig, coffee in our lap, and shift gears all at the same time. Driving one handed and eating is casual.
whitebbwolf
It was the right outcome. I doubt it was a conscious decission on her part tho
GrumpyOldMillennial
One of the things they drill into you in CDL school is swerving is bad. If you swerve to miss the deer and hit a car, you are fucked. If
GrumpyOldMillennial
You nail the deer and damage (or total) the semi then its a non preventable. Always pick the non preventable.
FierceAndAdorable
Does not cover if they’re already down either.
RayGiIIette
Unless you can only afford liability. Then you're fucked regardless.
MeatPopsicleMultiPass
As someone who drives a small car and has seen video of deer liquifying a person as it smashes through their windshield... I'm swerving.
bostwickenator
Totally agree, I don't want to be a meat popsicle. If you see something really try hard not to hit it without losing control of your car obv
Bungulus
Just like I've seen videos of situations where not wearing a seatbelt saved a life, it's still a far less likely outcome. Seatbelts for me.
Tigorl
The correct thing to do is speed up. If you brake the deer will go through ur windshield. If u swerve u'll hit something else. So speed up.
ColonelColon
Deer is safer than ground.
manamongstyou
I would rather hit a deer and take the smaller risk rather than hitting another vehicle or a tree/immovable object.
SmolCatDad
Given the alternative things you'd hit, the deer is still the safe one.
bostwickenator
Depends on the road. I hit one on I10 at 3am. No vehicles for 20 miles in either direction and 3 lanes. Jumped into my path AFTER I swerved.
acme64
that wasn't a deer that as an assassin
xDEIx
You can swerve with small corrections. Problem is most people over correct and end up rolling their vehicle.
MissAizea
As someone who drove a small car and hit at least 4 deer, you're more likely to survive if you don't swerve.
MeatPopsicleMultiPass
4?! What do you have against deer?!
MissAizea
Haha, lived in very rural areas, they can be hard to spot and will suddenly jump out of tall grass. I've gotten very good at spotting them
iGotFOLDERS
What do deer have against them is the real question...
Flortzweich
Do. Not. Swerve. Jam on the brakes if you can, firmly push and let the ABS chatter, but plow through that bad boy.
whitebbwolf
acme64
what? no no brakes. that brings your hood down, and the deer through the windshield.
Flortzweich
Huh... I never thought about the angle of attack... Just thinking reducing the force (speed kills and all that)... But yeah, that's a good
Flortzweich
Point. I'll have to adjust my strategy (Δ awarded)
icculus760
Deer = comprehensive coverage (if you have it), likely no policy increase. Ditch = single vehicle at fault collision, likely surcharged
whitebbwolf
It was the right outcome. I doubt it was a conscious decission on her part tho
PapaStone
Since I found this out its all I carry and I drive through deer country.
Macmashpotato
Yea i would not report it just fix it myself
PapaStone
Same but it also depends on how much damage it causes and age of vehicle. Comprehensive also covers fires, trees etc
Healthcarecrisis
Can confirm its true for State Farm in Utah

Dang. Same thing for Saskatchewan, Canada.
Titty5prinkles

NowhereMan313
True for both State Farm and GEICO in Missouri.
NapkinBob
You guys realize the specific insurer has nothing to do with it right? These things are set out in your local highway traffic act.
rollerskateorgies
Only swerve for animals you can see under.
reynoldser
And wild boar. Those things can make you flip your car the get so big and have a low center of gravity
BikerMikefromMars
This. I live in the rurals where hitting animals are probably the biggest hazard and the instructors emphasise this. Don't swerve.
whitebbwolf
It was the right outcome. I doubt it was a conscious decission on her part tho
iambrose
Do not swerve and for the love of Jesus if it’s below 30°, don’t slam on the brakes.

stonebone000
You know what though, I think she handled it very well. It’s sad that it’s going to get hit but it’s better than trying to turn the vehicle.
voydkastor
Like me! I swerved hard to dodge a deer, rear got loose and came around and put me in a ditch after 3/4 of a roll.
gratefulheart
Same thing happened to me, except it was a bear. I wasn’t driving a bear. I almost hit a bear..
nonsensecomment
Thanks was very confused at first
qtRaven
Thank you for clarifying.
Dionysus187
Probably due to the fact she is clearly distracted from driving in general, had no time to panic.
BryanwithaYnotanI
Looking at the item on the rear view mirror she is clearly braking, pretty hard too so she sees something and is reacting and not panicking
Inkliest
She seems pretty focused on the road. And she calmly braces for impact before she hits it- I think it was just a “wait until after” reaction
TreeOhhTree
She’s focused on the road. You can tell because you can watch the video....
Dionysus187
She's eating while driving one handed showing less than minimum focus on the road. You can tell because you can watch the video.....
ShiftyToaster
So I'm assuming you also can't walk and chew gum at the same time? Since you're having so much trouble comprehending this
DwightKnight
If you can't drive properly while eating a convenience food, then you can't drive properly at all.
Inkliest
You have a point with being one handed. However, it looks like she only takes her eyes off the road when checking the rear view mirror.
Inkliest
And, before dealing with an issue she makes sure she has both hands back on the wheel. Overall, I’d argue she was focused n handled it well.
PoorBoyChevelle
We don't stop 1 handed people from driving. Or people from driving stick.
polkapowa
This. A dead deer and a ruined bumper is nothing compared to a full frontal collision with another car.
slyvic
For sure. You might drive off the road and hit a tree, then try to prove to the insurance company "but there was a deer on the road".
GloveFullaVaseline
I totalled my car to avoid a deer, full coverage, agent told me next time just hit it. But, it could slide up into the windshield, you ded.
stonebone000
And cause more damage or hurt someone else
stink3rbelle
Looks like it flew into oncoming traffic here. If it was a real deer, I suspect it did plenty of damage to other vehicles.
MrStealUrMeme
I've been repeatedly installing the mindset of never swerving for deer in my daughter for years, and she isn't even old enough to drive yet
RevTang
Agreed, but I have some doubt she ever even saw it until it bounce off her headlight.
cobyjack
Look at her lanyard hanging from mirror. You can tell she's braking a while before contact.
RevTang
To explain, her eyes don't track/move for anything coming from the shoulder. Don't think the deer would just be chilling there. Gladshe isok
chumbwambatubthumping
You apparently don't know deer. Especially NJ deer. They will wait at the side of the road looking unsuspecting and then run into the side>
RevTang
I have almost hit a couple. Just luck made me miss it. I meant chilling in the contact zone but ya good point they do chill on the shoulder>
chumbwambatubthumping
Of your car while you're SITTING IN TRAFFIC AT A FULL STOP! Mofuckin deer ramming into cars left and right in NJ.
