Do Drivers Purposefully Swerve to Hit Animals on the Road?
- simonblack 5y agoThat depends on how rich you are, whether you can afford to have your car repaired every time you hit something. Even very small animals can do a lot of damage, especially if you swerve to hit them and you lose control of the vehicle and hit a tree instead. In which case you can add that to the list of "Dumb Ways to Die".
- johnthuss 5y agoI know that teenage boys are tempted to do this, having been one myself. Swerving around animals on the road can cause serious problems, whether you are trying to hit them or avoid them. And more often people seem to be trying to avoid them.

- fairity 5y agoHonest question - why? Is it because you see these animals as pests, or that it's fun to go hunting?
- Fjolsvith 5y agoIf I'm in my wife's car, I swerve to avoid. If I'm in my pickup, I swerve to center it on the grill guard in order to avoid damage to the quarter-panels.
