If you want to kill yourself on hitting a deer and blame the deer for it, good plan. You can't simply expect everything to follow the rules. Speed limits are limits, not minimum driving speeds. You should always reduce speed to match the circumstances.

Killing yourself on a deer is still better than living with the guilt of killing someones child. Accidents happen, but driving 90 in the rain at night is not responsible behaviour. I always slow down when passing cyclists, a simple gust of wind can blow them in your path.

of course you should reduce your speed where its needed. but even if you reduce your speed and a deer jumps in front of you you will most likely still hit it or crash trying to drive around it. 

I think i answered it to expect everything as able to stop in time. if something jumps 5-10meters in front of you you can only drive 10kph and still hit it.
doesnt mean you need to drive 5kph only.

and yes 90kph is not responsible, i wouldnt do that.
