Guess what? Anecdotes are of no value because no generalization is going to be 100%, ever. If anything, your anecdote supports the 1 exemption rule. I stand by my comment. In my area people completely disregard the posted warnings to slow down for deer and moose and drive well over the limit in nighttime, fog, rain, you name it. I believe this is the norm across Canada. I suspect most drivers (again, you might be an exception) could not care less about driving prudently to avoid a collision and I am completely convinced a large percentage of such collisions are avoidable.
