> > A long. long time ago I was watching some science tv show. They said the reason why animals run in front of vehicles is because of the Doppler Effect sound comming from the vehicles. Fer some reason it confuses them into which way to run? Of course a deer doesn`t know what a vehicle is and don`t know there not supposed to run out into the road. The sound of an oncomming vehicle is not as loud when directly in front, so they think there getting away. er something like that? > > > > Actually that's not the Doppler effect, it's the coriolis effect, the same reason that shaft-driven motorcycles can neither wheelie nor countersteer. >

Coriolis effect? WTF? I guess I don`t have a sense of humur because I don`t get it? Here`s the defintion of the the Doppler Effect incase if someone never heard of it: "A phenomenon, observed for sound waves characterized by a change in the apparent frequency of a wave as a result of relative motion between the observer and the source". In another words, imagine standing along the side of a highway and you hear an oncomming car, the sound of the car changes pitch as it as it gets closer and as it passes by you. This is what causes deer to run out in front of you (from my understanding). The problem is, is what to do about that darn Doppler Effect and to keep the critters from running out in front of you? One of my solutions is too explore the outer limits of engine-braking, backfire, and hurl fireballs from thy tailpipe. So far it works for me.
