I live in a fairly rural area with a very healthy population of deer. I have a dashcam video of a doe jumping out in front of my vehicle and just freezing there. Thankfully I was alert and had just enough time to to stop but came within 1-2 feet of hitting her. This was about 4 pm on the summer, so broad daylight. No headlights. But yeah a lot of times they do jump away, especially if they’re not already in the road.
The lights blind them, that’s why. Deer have very sensitive eyes, they can see infrared.
Yeah but they do the same shit when it’s broad daylight / no headlights
I don’t know if you have ever encountered deers on the road in daylight, but they usually jump away.
