A rule to live by: hit it, don't swerve.

Whatever jumps out in front of your car will do less damage than whatever it is you hit when you swerve. Cats, dogs, many deer weigh less than 100 pounds. A tree or another car weighs a lot more.

[Kirkwood]

If you hit a deer it can go through the windshield and kill you.
