Good lessons for all your kids, and safe driving on your part. When I was in high school, two sisters were on their way to school in the am. They broke the crest of a hill and saw a cat in the road.
They swerved to miss it and flipped their escort. They had multiple injuries and totalled their car. When they were still on the scene no one could figure out why the cat was still in the road. Well, the cat was already dead. They risked their lives to avoid roadkill!
