    the reality is it can’t be controlled for

    Simply not true. Deer have a top speed when they run. The distance from the tree line to the road, divided by a deer’s sprinting speed, determines how much time you have to stop if a deer heads into your lane at top speed. If your stopping time is longer than that you’re going too fast.

    You can control for it by going below that speed. Lower speed, less stopping time.

    I grew up in deer country. Tons of deer, every year, and I stopped for unexpected deer dozens of times without hitting any deer.

    You are choosing not to take responsibility, based on this lie you’re telling yourself about how it can’t be helped.
