For guys. Have you ever hit and killed an animal while driving?

Question

This is for my stat project. I have a separate question for girls. Thank you.

Answer 1

Not yet. I drive pretty alertly and have been lucky. I drive a little hyundai though so if something hits me I'm screwed.

Answer 2

Rabbit, squirrel and a muskrat.

Answer 3

Growing up in the country I have struck and killed many animals. Mostly smaller animals, rabbits, squirels, the like. I have also hit a dog or two, and suffered vehicle damage as well. (Just to note the dogs owners had to pay for the damage because of the leash laws here.) My personal opinion is that I would rather run over an animal than try to avoid hitting it and causing a major accident or major damage to my vehicle.

Answer 19

G'day Jesse F!

Sadly, yes, I have hit wildlife that has wandered across the road in front of me.  In my time of driving, I have hit 2 kangaroos, a third one hit the side of the car...  many rats (there was a plague that year) several rabbits and a few snakes.  

Please bear in mind when you are driving a triple road train in outback Australia, you do not have many options for going around things.  Kangaroos tend to do the most stupid things...  They will hop away from you, then, when you think that you are clear of the danger, they come straight back in front of you!  

I do not like to hit wildlife at all, but, when you have a gross weight of 115 tonnes, and the kangaroo does what I have described above...  and I am not able to deviate from the line of travel, what do I do to avoid???
