Do you swerve? Animal in the road, no oncoming traffic.

no im a peta member animals are sacred

 

How good of a driver can YOU be with your head stuck that far up uranus??

 

I've yet to hit an animal larger than a bird.

But my truck had turned into a rolling death machine to the birds. Just done Jan 1 I've killed 15 birds. 2 years before that I was up to around 10

 

I lose track of all the birds I have hit. I've had several hawks and a buzzard, maybe even an owl fly into various parts of my cab and windbreaker. Scariest one was several months ago when a hawk flew right into my windshield, it was cool and dark out and I saw the shadow right as it hit and I ducked.

I just knew it was going to crater the windshield, so I pulled over. Not as much as a scratch, but it took several blue beacon washes to get the imprint of the wing off the windshield. Turns out hawks are only about two pounds so they don't have a lot of energy on impact.

 

And now I can not take anything you say serious

 

@Gunner75

He said a good driver should be able to stop in the distance of his headlights. Using 65 mph and 80k for weight, it will take him about 525 feet to stop. On low beam, his lights should shine about 300 feet, 40% short of his stopping ability. So either he runs about 45 mph and 1500 miles a week, or he is trolling right now, or he has only driven in the desert, in broad daylight, and all animals are wearing reflective vests.

 

When I was with tmc they claimed our low beam lights were good for 500ft of distance and that we should be able to slow in that time. So take that for what it's worth.

I can't take anyone serious who actually believes in that b.s. that peta spews

 

a great one for being accident free what is this your not considered a good driver till you hit something now kinda weird i thought good drivers avoided that

 

bambi shouldnt be forced to wear purple lipstick

 

And peta should practice what they preach.
