I had a real bad streak a couple months ago where I was an animal serial killer. First I ran over something that was already dead... so that was okay, then I killed a cat who was licking its butt in the middle of my lane right around a curve at night... didnt really see it till my tires were going over it. Felt REALLY Bad.. Then I think I killed a squirrel... didnt feel as bad but still sucks.
THEN like the next day, it was night time and I was heading out to play some pool... on a back road that has tall trees all over the sides of the road (shadows out the moon)... cruisin at about 35mph.. the speed limit, and all of the sudden, like 20 ft in front of me there were to big boxers (the dog kind, not human boxers) in the street... One right in the middle/right of my lane and the other was in the other lane and close to the yellow lines.... so I couldnt just dart into the other lane.
I slammed on my breaks but it became quite clear that I wasnt stopping in time. So, with my super quick thinking and reaction time I decide to try to swerve in between the two dogs... I just missed the one on my right and the one who was in the other lane ran into the SIDE of my car as I was passing through. I heard him/her yelp and heard the bang into my drivers side door. I pulled off the road and got out, but the two dogs had run off so I dont think I hurt the dog too bad. Still sat there and cried in my car 
I was a danger to all animals on the road... and it wasnt even my fault! |
you should have flashed your lights at them...
yeah, i hate running over animals-but i did cuss the guy who slammed on his brakes right in front of me to avoid a rabbit. i thought i was going to wipe him out over a bunny...i worked with a lady whose niece was killed when a driver swerved to miss a dog. he went in their lane and hit them head on. i'll try to give animals a break, but i'm not going to endanger a human to help them out.
