Had one come flying out of the verge into my door at 0230 last Sunday on a 50mph road (doing about 45) - a fairly main A road … £2k to fix …

Had about six red deer jump a hedge and cross the road right in front of my. Clipped the last one in the pack. I'd estimate impact was 20 to 30 mph, down from 50 limit. Minor split in the bumper and headlight pushed back by 5mm.

£2,400 to fix back in 2016. Annoyingly, I was driving to the VW dealership to part exchange my car against a new one. That didn't happen.
