A full-grown bull moose can run up to 35 mph. So, unless you are traveling faster than that, I don’t think it makes a difference who hits who. ;)

- hobs 4y agoHaving seen a moose truck through five foot deep snow like it wasn't even there I can attest being hit by a moose is a one way ticket to your maker.
- cwillu 4y agoNow imagine what that moose could do if it was an _educated_ moose? https://globalnews.ca/news/8349864/moose-saskatoon-school/ https://globalnews.ca/news/8349864/moose-saskatoon-school/
- Zak 4y agoThe grandparent comment says "be bit by a moose", so that's a slightly different scenario. Of course if it's biting out of fear or aggression, it's also likely to knock you down and stomp on you, and you probably wouldn't rather have that. It's not rare for moose to kill people that way. As for collisions, the highway the author was driving on has a speed limit of 55 or 65 MPH in most areas, and people often treat speed limits as suggestions. I had a near miss with a moose on the same highway, after which I would suggest taking the speed limit seriously.
- chewbacha 4y agoOh, that’s fair, I misread the wording.
