When driving, do you swerve to HIT or MISS animals?

  • I don't drive but a fox once walked towards me in the dark and I didn't swerve (or move in any way). I wanted to see how close it would come. In the end, it brushed me as it went past.

    • Good thing you live in England where there's no rabies!! Here you'd be a fool to let a wild animal wander towards you!! Rabid animals are fucking scary!! They're like zombies.

      • Yeah, it's one of those things I rarely thing about. I saw a rabid dog when I was a kid but that was about it. There was supposed to be a rise in rabies when the tunnel to France opened with the scaremongers talking about rabid vampire bats. It never happened, though.

    • Wow! Red or grey? I work night-shift, and I had this one little red fox who would run out in front of my car every night in about the same spot for over a week. Eventually I saw him/her hit on the side of the road where someone else had struck him. Broke my heart. I swerve for critters to preserve the population, even reptiles. ^_^

      • It was a red one (the grey ones either didn't make it here, or have been wiped out). I kind of like being reminded that they're out there; that the planet isn't just a human building site and that other species are living, even on the bits we've made into building sites. :)
