Speed Limit and Deer

Last night on my way home with my son, I was driving down Miller Road around 6 p.m.  The speed limit is 25 mph.  Yeah, that is slow.  It was dark, we have many deer in the area and they run across the street without looking!  The woman behind me tailgated me from Miller Heights to South Erin Drive, where there is a stop sign. As I turned my left blinker on and stopped at the stop sign, she honked and the car behind her pulled out into the oncoming traffic lane, raced past me and drove up South Erin Drive at top; speed.  Had I turned left any faster, the third car would have hit me.  People people people:  leave earlier so you won't be late and drive slow around here so you won't be killed when a deer rushes out.
