...but the tyre marks would have to remain parallel because the tyres stay on the axle and remain the same distance apart rather than crossing over

Not if it were a 2 dimentional car with only two wheels, in which case you could draw all sorts of pretty pictures on the road with it.
Oh look a 2d car with two wheels!

Skid lines 
Anyone can see that the car has just run over a Moose, it must be a sign for - Warning, DennisN at work.

This is a little bit of memory lane for Dennis. A nice little video of bambi to watch.
WARNING, NOT SUITABLE FOR MINORS

What goes up, must come down.
So where did it go then?

If Dennis' white van had a pointy nose like that car then the deer and peasants would have bounced off and he wouldn't be half as upset about it

Half as upset? He'd wet himself laughing, and then look for another (I know as I saw the pictures). A new olympic sport of Deer Lobbing maybe.

We recon at least 30ft up and 20ft away. ((9M up, 6M along)metric)

Dennis probably has a collection of antlers as trophies inside his van
Hadn't you heard that they're introducing deer tossing into the next 'White Van Man Games'...it's the event after the "where did I leave my wallet" game
Seriously, though, I do feel sorry for Dennis who didn't have much work in the run up to his holiday and then he went and lost his wallet. Personally, I never tend to carry much cash for that very reason - credit and debit cards can be cancelled.

I can remember buying travellers cheques??? I can't imagine what that was all about now when I think about it. A credit card and some foreign dosh is all you need now.

I have carefully refrained from posting the deer stripe picture out of consideration for those of tender sensibilities - I sent it to mostdom to make him feel ill, because it's no more than he deserves (Audi owner and suchlike criminality).
I am also old enough to remember traveller's cheques. We just have loadsa Euros and never change them back to English. I've been doing the cash thing for years - the wallet's normally quite safe zipped inside the bumbag which I might even be accused of sleeping in. Unfortunately (and unusually) I was carrying three such items - two wallets (mine and Vera's) and one purse for coins. I'm convinced that when I paid for something, I took out my purse to put the coins change in and put the wallet down on the counter whilst I did so, then walked off with only the purse and the purchase. The shopkeeper said he'd seen and found nothing, so instead of that, I must have missed the bumbag when I put the wallet in. Other people have said I made someone happy - Vera says I made her happy too, because it wasn't her wallet!! 
The insurance company kept me on the (my bill, lo-call) phone for 20 minutes taking down details, then ended up saying they'd send me a form to fill in (  ) "within 3 to 5 working days". The three have passed already!

It's like an old joke:
Margaret Thatcher was flying around on her election tour and when she landed in one airport she told an aide "throw £100 off and make someone happy"
Her aide replied "why don't you throw two £50 notes off and make two people happy?"
Another aide said "why don't you throw ten £10 notes off and make ten people happy?"
Somebody else responded "why don't you throw yourself off and make everybody happy?"
