A great invention for an entrepreneur's car

What any entrepreneur needs if the business involves a lot of driving, especially in the so-called "Garden State": deer insurance. Deer are a menace! I've hit two in the last two years. They run out in the street with no warning, and you can't miss 'em when they do that. They are too stupid to avoid cars, and are a danger to the lives of drivers and passengers, not to mention to themselves.

This site tells us that
A deer insurance was suggested but discounted since "every dink in a car would be blamed on a deer hit."
I don't buy it. Not every "dink in a car" can be accompanied by the carcass of a stupid deer. Those are the words of someone who doesn't want to think the problem through.

And don't get me started on so-called "animal lovers" who oppose extending deer hunts. If you are like that, you need to get it through your head that you are doing deer no favors! They will ultimately die anyway, crossing roads stupidly as they do! AND they will endanger motorists, and possibly the children of motorists, on their way to their own destruction.

But I digress again.

Though reducing the population of an animal with no natural predators left (at least in this state) will help spare danger to drivers, there are many other methods that will help. One interesting idea from the above site is
Deer-movement activated signs are being studied.
But deer insurance must be examined closely, even if it costs more than standard auto insurance, just as flood insurance costs more than home insurance. Entrepreneurs who drive should go to bat for this.
