Default Deer Whistles

I was talking to my dad earlier and he swears that those stick on deer whistles work. I heard that they really make no difference.

I hit a deer a few weeks ago, and now he's all parinoid and was talking about putting those on my car[&:]. I just know there is no way in hell im going to put big black whistles on the front on my car lol

Has anyone heard anything about these things?

cant you stick them under the bumper.. ie in the grill area.. out of the way but enough that they catch the air....

I personally just stick my head out the window and scream at a high pitch while driving

I guess I could do that as long as theyre aren't visible....But do they actually work? From what I looked at on the internet I'd say no.

There's a buttonin the center of your steering wheel that does the same thing... Works on people, too... Only prolem is you gotta manually hold it down while you drive

Thanks for that link.. So basically they're saying that no they don't work. That's pretty much what I thought in the first place.
