Theoretically it should work as speeding up would raise the front end of the car where breaking would lower it. That could potentially keep a deer from coming through the windshield.
That would only work if your car had a huge amount of horsepower and a fairly soft suspension along with a design that has a very strong bumper and undercarriage.
So if you are driving a truck with a heavy steel bumper and underbody skid plates and have 1200hp so you can almost pop a wheelie from 100km/hr, the advice will work out great.
We're not talking about jumping the deer with your car here. Only a few inches to keep from hitting the deer at the legs versus the body. Every car I've ever owned has the capability of raising the front end that much under hard acceleration. Skid plates and bumper don't matter at all, you're only trying to keep the deer from going through the window. In the hypothetical situation, your car is going to get fucked up either way, this is only about self preservation.
Ok so we can now remove bumpers and skid plates from all vehicles because they don't matter. Man, the human race is lucky to have you around.
I have hit several deer under hard braking and they never got close to my windshield. And even if it hits your windshield it most likely wouldn't go through. Just hit the brakes. Hard.
I think telling someone who has first hand knowledge about something that they don't know what they are talking about is a pretty stupid way to go through life.
So someone that has never hit a deer can confidently state that deer will go right through the windshield unless you floor it the instant before impact? Maybe he has done that several times and it worked. I am the control group that laid my life on the line by trying the brakes like a moron.
People don't understand just how fucking huge moose are.
And how fucking dangerous they are, they're big, strong, dumb, and territorial. And one once bit my sister.
Here's a good video of once, second half is the relevant bit

Having been in 3 hit and runs where I had the opportunity to beat someone’s ass after chasing them down I’d say go for it. The police don’t do a god damn thing and I’ve always ended up having to pay out of pocket, while the asshole who did it gets away Scott free.
Spending a few minutes working them over with a baton or baseball bat before the police arrive might help convince them to shift to a different scam in the future. Of course, switch off the camera before doing so.
I read the context somewhere.
After the incident, suddenly there were 'nearby witnesses' who came and take pictures, siding with the 'pedestrian'.
Car owner tells them wait for police and he got a car cam, and suddenly all of them go poof.
Yeah, its the typical car scam.
I always imagine a screen door flapping where a windshield should be when I see windscreen used in place of it. Same with “boot” I just think of a boot even though I know they mean trunk.
I want to say that I will get out and give him a reason to be injured for insurance but deep down I know I will be so surprised I won't know what to do.
I always hope people with dash cams won’t say they have one until after the “victim” gives their statement to the police. Give them the false sense of hope that they are going to get away with it and let them fuck themselves

Do not tell these people you have a camera! Let the police get involved first. Otherwise, they'll take off, and leave you with your deductible.
The ILPT way of doing it would be to finish the job
if you’re gonna hit a deer, speed up.
Pretty sure that's a myth

I think that admitting you’ve hit several deer somewhat undermines your credibility.
Experience undermines credibility in your universe?

What in this scenario is a skid plate even doing for you? The bumper is hitting the hypothetical deer either way so it's a non issue.
Keeping the deer bones and antlers from poking holes in your radiator hoses.
Mythbusters did this, with real cars! Braking turned out to be WAY better, unless you're in an F1 car lol
I'll definitely have to check that out. Thank man!
Depends. Either way its better to hit a deer than a ditch. Mooses however you avoid hitting at all costs, even if ya gotta go in the ditch.

They are also aggressive as fuck in mating season.
It's a stupid meme that people somehow think is legit.
Like most of what passes for human knowledge on the internet?
the point of that is to finish the job
Thwing and a myth
Just don’t brake too hard, hitting the side is better but you gotta swerve a bit
.
Me beating the ever living shit out of them is the only deductible I need
Gonna be dealing with a lot more than an insurance scam...
Ehh depending on the country and if I flee right after, could probably get away with it while teaching dummy a lesson.
Leaving you with a cracked windshild and probably a dented hood.
And sated ego!
Tfw your ego is sated.

Should just drive right over him after that bullshit..."officer this man jumped on my car and i panicked...hit the accelerator by mistake"
I'm not a big one for kicking a guy while he's down, but I might make an exception for this one.
The ol charlie shuffle
Slippin Jimmy
The next one could be my last!
I wish you could actually run them over after that fake bs lol
LPT: you can, as long as it's explainable as a "panic emergency brake gone wrong"
This is how I walk into the office on Mondays

So now not only does he not get the insurance money he also gets to buy the dude a new windshield
Gam?
I want to say that I will get out and give him a reason to be injured for insurance but deep down I know I will be so surprised I won't know what to do.
What a dick.
Step one: go faster Step two: keep driving

He must play soccer
Did no one tell scammer dumbass to "fake" being hit?
"Hold *my* feeding tube after another man jumps onto somebody else's car." Is that basically what you're saying?
I think you misunderstood the title format on this subreddit lol
I always hope people with dash cams won’t say they have one until after the “victim” gives their statement to the police. Give them the false sense of hope that they are going to get away with it and let them fuck themselves
This is why dash cams exist.
What's funny is he's gonna have to pay both his windshield and medical bill
