Well - that was a very interesting read. Do you know how many miles that was?
The part about the deer was pretty scary. I think most accidents are avoidable but when a deer jumps out in front of you it can happen too suddenly to take any evasive action.
Re: the RV - I've always thought that it'd be a good idea to have mandatory retesting of some kind for all drivers, not just old folks. Truckers and pilots have to undergo tests and regulations, but why not regular car drivers? There are a lot of people who start off taking driving lessons but then forget everything they learned after a few years on the road.
