I was laughing all night about this after it happened and wanted to share.

So I was driving home through Niles Canyon last night around 1am. Niles is a one lane road that's about 7 miles long through a canyon. I usually take this way home since it's usually empty and I can have some fun. But of course as I exit a Prius is in front of me driving 2 miles below the posted 45mph.

So I decide to coast for a few min and let him get some distance on me so I don't frustrate myself riding his tail.

After about 5 min I figured he's far away enough that I can drive through my normal speed without having to step on the brakes every 12 seconds. Halfway through I round a corner and there he is driving 40mph in a 45. As we round the next bend he slams on his brakes because there's a deer in the road with it's back turned. The deer doesn't move and I see him inching closer reving and braking trying to scare the deer away.

The deer doesn't even give him the time of day or the deer in the headlights look.

As I get a few hundred feet from the Prius I downshift into 2nd

and the deer bolts off the side of the road. At that point the Prius was kind enough to pull to the side and let me pass.
