When I learned t drive I was instructed not to mind smaller critters as the avoidance maneuver (steering away one way or the other or heavy breaking) is more likely to cause a serious accident than the collision with the small critter.
- kalleboo 9y agoTrue. You also don't want it avoiding a plastic bag that's floating across the road
