Default Ran over a pig last night

I was driving home from Jiu-Jitsu last night and I saw something run infront of me in the back roads. I didn't bother to slow down because I figured it was a stray cat. At the last second I saw it was a baby pig. It hit my air dam but it did no damage fortunatly. It made a very loud thump and I heard it rolling under the car.

I was really surprised there was no damage. I guess I should try to avoid cats and chickens for now on. Actually I'll leave it up to you.

It doesn't hurt to slow down, but if you try to swerve--you are looking for trouble............

everything i've ever been told is run through them, cause it's safer for you. if you save a chicken, but end up losing control of your car...isn't worth it.

This F150 slammed into this stupid pig on the Kauai HWY. It totalled the truck! The guy couldn't drive it I think. Anyway the police ask the guy if he wants the pig and he said no so they made a call and someone picked it up. YUMMY!

I agree with running down animals generally if it is going to force you to scretch to a stop and have someone rear end you or make you swerve. Cows are a different story though.

Stupid chickens on Kauai, they actually take their time crossing the street, I run over the little chickies too.

yep, cows don't dart. they plod.

also, for what it's worth, the courts recently ruled that a driver is not guilty of negligence when/if they stop suddenly to avoid a road hazzard such as livestock and vermits.
