"Swerving to avoid a deer and hitting another car is an accident."

Nope it is just plain stupid and negligent. Your saying that putting more human life at risk to keep from hitting the deer is an acceptable reason to crash a car. I disagree.

I'm telling PETA you said that. ;)

There is no negligence in split second reactions. Situations on the road change rapidly. Instinct has the biggest influence on your reaction. It is instict to avoid a deer. When you have to go into a thought process of deciding which way to turn to avoid the deer, then it takes too much time to do so thus it becomes an accident. Accidents are unintended. I doubt any one who swerves to miss a deer intends to hit a car instead.
