Killing animals on the road

[J o n]

Is it fun or not?

[Duli]

It isnt fun, but at the same time you shouldnt swerve dangerously to avoid them.

I try to avoid them, and for now, I didnt hit anyone.

[Andyvalver]

Try to avoid them if possible without crashing but sometimes its not possible to avoid them so its game over.

About a month ago i hit a pigeon, it was just sat in the road and it was too late, i thought if it stayed where it was i would go over it and it would be fine but the ****e decided to fly away at the last min and bounced of the corner of my bonnet :roll: . Feathers everywhere :lol:

[holl]

you gota swerve ! how is it fun killing animals! :(

I hit stuff all the time when I first started driving I took a conscious decision that if there was an animal in the way that wasn't massive or a badger I would just keep going straight on. I've seen too many accidents where people have swerved and lost it.

So far i've run over:

a badger (it was already injured I think was just lying in the road)
a fox
loads and loads of pheasants
a blackbird

The funniest thing I hit was a sparrow that swooped across the front of my car. Unluckily for it I was doing 100+mph and it hit the bonnet and got caught in the drivers side wiper arm so I had to stare at its head with the beak still moving for the rest of the bypass.

Haha love it.

Only 30 minutes ago i was ragging round some country lanes.

This sutpid feasant walks into the middle of the road, SMACK, it goes flying and flys straight into a "40MPH" sign, BANG, unlucky bird, you got Cliowned.

[J o n]

my mate once killed an owl... it was just sat in the road and at first he thought it was a baby... but then thought, "not much chance of that at this time", so carried on... it's didn't move... wallop! would have written the clio off, but he drives a Golf, so no damage.

[Smokey McPot]

I had a pheasant get stuck in the windscreen of my golf, driver side. There was its head, at eye level, and a foot, twitching at me. Had to wait a while till i could pull over too.

[Lunner]

Almost hit a stag a couple of times, hit got knows how many rabbits, few pigeons....got a nvie blood splatter up my bonnet from a pigeon

[Rott]

^^^ Nice paps lunner ^^^

Run over loadsa Deer n sheep, used to work on the fishing boats, and the folks up ullapool lochinver way, ain't never heard of a fence, ****in animals everywhere, worst one was when we hit a stag at 90mph, VW Caravelle VR6 we were in was written off BIG TIME, looked like it'd hit a truck!!!!

Not a nice thing to do but sometimes has to be done :?

[BenR]

it can get quite sporting!

[clowo16v]

My mate hit a deer in his VR6, got it repaired then hit another one a week after.

I've racked up two pigeons recently ....one I took out when I crested a hill at 80 and twatted the ****er in mid air...shat itself all over my windscreen . The second was similar to Andy's except it never took off and I think it took the bottom of the bumper got it right on the dome! Sounded nasty...

[Jamie.]

i ran over a rabit, thats about it.

[FATBOY]

[Andy]

[Zollo]

Once hit a baby deer in my 306. £600 worth of damage and a very dead deer :(

Hit loads of other smaller things too. Thankfully nothing on the bike, though :shock:

[Mattie]
