Today, I swerved off the road and hit a tree in order to avoid hitting a dog that came out of nowhere. Don't worry, I didn't hit him. The person behind me did, though. FML

Save the doggo

Today, I was driving down the road when a dog suddenly ran across the street. In attempt to spare its life, I swerved to the side of the road and rear-ended another car. The car I hit belonged the family who owned the dog. Now I have to pay them because I saved their dog's life. FML

Today, I swerved to avoid hitting a dog that ran in front of my car. The dog was fine but I hit a road sign, ripped off my rearview mirror, and cracked my passenger side window. When I got out to examine the damage to my car, the dog growled at me. FML

Today, while driving my new car, a squirrel ran in front of me so I slammed on my brakes. The person behind me didn't notice and rear-ended me. The squirrel got hit by a car going the opposite direction. FML

Today, I ran into a parked car and fell into the gutter. All because a dog suddenly barked at me. From the other side of a wooden fence. FML

Today, I crashed my car. I saw a deer getting ready to run into the middle of the road, and I was very sleepy, so I panicked and slammed on the brakes, causing me to lose control of the car on the wet road. After I hit a tree, I realized that the deer was a plastic lawn ornament. FML

Today, I swerved to miss hitting a kitten, over-corrected, hit and killed the cat, and totaled my truck by hitting a parked car. FML

Today, I was backing out of my garage when my neighbour's collie ran behind my car. Unfortunately, I didn't see it, but I heard a thump. They were out, so I rushed him to the vet's. I was upset, and I guess I was driving too fast and didn't see that another dog was crossing the road. I killed two dogs today. FML

Today, while driving home, I swerved to avoid turning a duck and her babies into roadkill. Another car was coming around a sharp bend at the time and swerved to avoid hitting me. In the end, we both ran our cars off the road, and he took out several ducks in the process. FML

Glad you cared about the dog though. You didn't get hurt yourself, did you?

ydi for swerving really. Luckily you only swerved into a tree instead of another car or a person. Anyone saying an animals life is equal to that of a humans is indeed a retard and should refrain from breeding, thanks (yes, i mean you #96).

@96 well if you believe that the life of a dog is worth more than the life of a human, if you see a dog in life threatening danger then i would be right to expect you to sacrifice yourself for it, then?

A person shouldn't think that their life is above an animals or vice versus. We all live and breathe, if you aren't going to eat the animal and put every part of them to use...then you shouldn't be killing it. Unless, you are in danger or are being attacked. Swerving out the way wasn't the the best move, you were in potential of danger and or putting someone else in danger/pain, even death,(hitting a person, results in jail time or being sued and tickets) hitting the dog is acceptable. Just make amends for it to the spirit of the animal afterwards; bury it and give a prayer.

Well, still...Good for you for choosing to avoid it. Some people don't even bother swerving out of the way for small animals.

Because it's more dangerous to swerve. There are situations where you can safely attempt to avoid them and there are situations where you cannot. Clearly this was one of the latter situations.
