Could be. I am just glad I was able to stop in time. Also that none one was behind me that might have rear ended me. Hitting a deer is at best extensive damage to the vehicle and at worst injury or death.

I do miss the days when someone pumped the gas for you plus washed your windshields and checked your oil while waiting for the tank to fill.
I was so used to that business of having to prepay for a set amount [I always pay cash for everything I can do] from living in or near large cities. Then I moved to the small town I live in now. The first time I went to get gas at a local station I went in first money in hand to ask for $40 dollars worth. The clerk just gave me a strange look and said something like “Sure go ahead. Isn't the pump working?” Small pleasures of small town life.
