I'm from a farming family and groundhogs do a lot of damage to field crops, so we go out of our way to hit them if they're on the road. My dad told me one time that someone almost ran out of the road trying to miss one while my dad almost hit the other car while trying to kill the groundhog.

From what I understand of this, a car hit you cause you stopped for a Groundhog. Then A DIFFERENT car hit the Groundhog? You need a better conclusion.

No offense, but you went around a sharp turn and then stopped, and you're saying FML because someone rear-ended you? What did you think would happen? I hate drivers that don't consider other people. I won't even abbreviate - You Deserve It. You are a moronic driver who probably doesn't deserve your licence. Die in a fire - I hate idiotic, oblivious drivers like you.

HEY DUMBASS Stop being retarded!!! IF THE ANIMAL IS TOO SMALL TOO CAUSE HARM TO YOU OR OTHER DRIVERS, YOU DONT STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!! This is ENTIRELY the OP's fault!! Have fun paying three cars' worth of damage asshole! How about learning the rules of the road!

Ok people, consider this: #1-The OP never said how far she had gotten past the sharp turn. #2-Obviously she wasn't too invisible if the asshole who hit the groundhog could see them well enough to go around them, so stop acting as if the OP is completely at fault. #3-As someone else brought up, you should always be driving at a safe enough speed so you can make a sudden stop if needed.

Aw, now how are we going to tell if there's six more weeks of winter? Seriously though, sucks for the groundhog.

I'd rather die from getting rammed in the back of my car by some dumbfuck Republican than run over a family of geese.

LOL what's a groundhog? Is thaty the American version of the word Hedgehog? No matter. I'm about to go on my first driving test. Now I know that if a hedgehog walks out in front of the car, I won't stop. Poor hedgehog. I'd be all like: "No! Don't roll up into a ball! Move! No, don't move there!" *sound of ball going under tyres* "FFFFUUUUUUU-"

YDI, on your driving test if you swerve or stop to avoid hitting an animal, you fail. THERE'S A REASON FOR THIS! I WONDER WHAT IT COULD BE! happy insurance sorting.

YDI for having a heart and not killing it. But seriously I always see those things in the road, most the wild life I see is in the street.
