    School I went too had us driving on some really narrow roads. It was good to get the fear over with early :biggrin_25523:

    I won't be happy flattening fido, but he's not worth dying over..

    I would have to atleast stop and apologise, :

    *SPLAT*
    "OH GOD FLUFFY!"
    "Sorry Ma'am. Fluffy is in a better place."
    "You monster"
    "Im hauling dog chow. Here's a free bag." :)

    In a situation like that are you supposed to stop and/or file some type of accident report?

    And for the original topic...

    Not knowing or understanding all the rules is what scares me the most so far

    I would assume its a accident, I know it is if you hit a deer.

    You haven't been narrow until your rubbing mirrors with your oncoming trucks.

    US-62 will give you that experience. US-63 in Hardy, AR use to give you the same rubbing mirror experience right down town. Sadly though, they built a truck bypass.

    If I stopped and had a police report filed for every animal I've ran over.... I'd still be doing paperwork!

    It isn't my problem if the animals owner can not or will not retrain or confine their pet.

    Is that the rules? Or what you do?

    I would think among all the various rules and regulations there is something along the lines of....

    ....upon striking an object in the roadway the driver must preform a vehicle inspection at the next available safe location to ensure the vehicle is still safe to operate and all incidents must be reported to....

    Now I don't know this to be the case, but it seems logical given all the other safety rules and such.

    As your instructors this question....

    "In the event that a dog or cat crosses my path and gets struck & killed. What do I do?"
