In the UK its illegal to swerve for these things. In the sense that if you subsequently cause an accident for swerving to avoid a cat, you are at fault.

- eropple 10y agoWait, it's illegal to swerve for a moose (TIL: moose are called elk in Europe, American elk are totally different) in the UK? Hitting a moose is a fast route to the grave.

- pjc50 10y agoThere are no moose in the UK. There's the occasional deer on the road, and parts of the country with unfenced sheep grazing, but no moose. Common sense will be applied and liability is not strict nor is it a criminal offence per se. https://www.clarkewillmott.com/personal-injury-and-medical-negligence/accidents-involving-animals/ https://www.clarkewillmott.com/personal-injury-and-medical-n...
- eropple 10y agoHitting a deer or a sheep in most cars has a pretty good chance of getting you killed in a coupe or a sedan.
