It’s pretty weird that some people feel the need to run over small animals.

My rule is pretty simply. Any animal other than a squirrel I will try to avoid hitting them. I will not put my self in danger trying to avoid them.

Squirrels on the other hand do not get the courtesy of me trying to avoid them. I will not try to run them over, but will not try to avoid them either.

The reason being I once tried to avoid a squirrel and wound up rolling a pick up truck. Yes, all squirrels must pay for the mistake of one squirrel.

Were you in a Geico commercial?

Just saw a commercial on “safe” drivers stopping for squirrels. Like I tell my kids, if there is an animal in the middle of your lane - aim for the animal. Safely brake if no one is right behind you. My wife slammed on the brakes for a rabbit as a teen and put her car in the ditch and busted up her face some.

Prairie dogs, don’t brake for prairie dogs.
