This is what you can and will encounter on any morning commute to the office. Problem is you hardly see the bambii because ot their camouflage. And for some reason they always cross the road a couple of yards in front of you. Probably the headlights will trigger that. I had 5 of them crossing this morning, one of them slipped and fell on the icy roads and I only just could avoid a collision. Braking hardly has any effect other then slowing down just a bit and still being able to steer thanks to abs. The only option is to slow down and be very aware on a sudden movement in front of your car and on the shoulders of the road. There was one bull who probably was very interested in a female; he did not hear or see me coming and thus I scared him big time. Luckily for me, and him of course, he disappeared into the bush again. When on holiday in Denmark we noticed a traffic sign "Krysende Cyclister", "Crossing Bambii" would do nicely overhere.

And by the way, slowing down IS the purpose of braking, right.
