If a dog runs out in front of your car would you run the dog over or swerve into the car next to you. Dog gets it every time, i've done a quick wobble on the steering to avoid stuff before, but generally speaking if something flies out or runs out in front of me it's game over. You don't swerve maniacally to avoid roadkill.

yeah i smashed a fairing with an incoming pidgeon rather than risk evasive action

my mum killed a puppy when it ran out and i was a little kid on the back seat

it was before the days of car seats, and if she had braked sharply, she would have hurt me and she didnt want to do that

tough decision sometimes tho

repost. Also, wouldn't of happened if he never overtook the car, the dog would have gone un-noticed and that pretty kitten been unscathed. Chavs happen tho.

I don't see how speed comes into it. He was overtaking, which is a perfectly legal manouevre, the only reason he swerved was because the dog ran out infront of him while he was overtaking, speed is irrelevant, if the car he overtook was doing 30 in a 40 or 50 in a 60 the same thing could've happened, the error was swerving to avoid the dog.

dog owners fault for not controlling there animal. If it hadnt ran out into the road then it would of been a reasonably safe over taking manouver as the civic wouldnt of swerved to avoid the dog so therefore and no one would of got injured

[feef]

If you see an animal in the middle of the road, just keep riding in a straight line. Chances are the beast will run one way or the other. If you go left or right you've got more chance of hitting it if it goes the same way.

This doesn't work, of course, if the animal's already dead

Apparently anything the size of a dog or bigger you have to swerve for as its legally owned or something, anything smaller, aim for it.

fuck knows, cant remember where i heard it, your dead right though, i mean what about badgers they're like 5x bigger than a chiwowa

Pretty certain there's no law saying you have to swerve to avoid hitting certain animals, as that's encouraging accidents, as a swerve is a lot more dangerous than splattering a dog (as the video shows). You're probably referring to the law that you must stop and report it if you knock down a dog due to some ownership rule, though hitting a cat I believe you don't.

[GazzaThePiagg...]

I would not swerve/cause an accident with another road user for small mammals such as rabbits. Dogs or cats, I would have to swerve/cause an accident, I just like 'em too much.

Mow down a chav no problems though

Its instant reaction. Ive swerved to avoid animals. I shouldnt, but I just did
Good advert tho - seen before.
Is it on TV tho? Not seen it shown

[Gazdaman]

You know that recent Think Bike advert where the guy in the car splats that yellow CB500 by pulling out?

And then it shows him looking and it all going fine?
I reckon this should show it all going right aswell.

Guy overtaking splats the collie, then the hot girl who ends in the wheel chair gets naked.

Gaz for president.

It is something i always get very arsey about when people bitch about the evil bastards who knock down dogs/cats meandering in the road.
If im going to hit something i want to be bolt up right.

Problem is, what if its a wee-un?

I used to swerve a bit for animals... but got fed up with them... now I aim!

Almost went in a ditch trying to catch lunch, erm... I mean... a pheasant... fat one too...
I was in my car of course...

Got a nice brain splat up the window of the van getting a pidgeon too!

If I'm in a car, I'll try to avoid cats, dogs and deer, most other things I'll aim for, on a bike, I try to avoid most things... but I did have to pick rabbit out of my chain... but at least I missed it with my front wheel!

Got a rabbit in the Uno last night, hit it so hard I thought I'ld go back and see what state it was in (about 60mph)... couldn't find it... probably stuck in the front suspension, again!
