that's a reindeer. completely different animal, despite the name.
also, the problem with reindeer isn't really that you risk hitting one, but that you get swarmed by hundreds of them taking up the entire road. they're not afraid of vehicles since they are often around people, so their reaction to oncoming traffic is... nothing. they don't even freeze, they just continue what they were doing.
FYI
Reindeer - Wikipedia
Reindeer and caribou are different species. Why is it lumping them together?
Reindeer and caribou are the same species, Rangifer tarandus.
There are actually different ways of classifying them. Some including them all under R. tarandus, others have as many as 6 species with a cumulative 19 extant subspecies. It seems to be an evolving area of study.
