What is your 1st reaction when you see a dog in your lane on the highway?

You are going on 90km/h. Do you sway to avoid hitting the dog but get into an accident yourself. Or would you just go ahead and hit the dog and drive away?

swear, honk and jamm on the brakes and turn at the same time.

omg just read what i typed, i'm gonna crash and die.


ur asking me lmao
hard to face but no choice , i drive an 18 wheeler with cattle , a pick up truck crossed three lanes and i had little time , but have to go over the pickup , do you take a chance of causeing others to be hurt also , injury to yourself is something you avoid , its sad to hit the dog but its that or your self and possibly others , but you should state that 90 kilo is actually around 60 mph , people gonna read this and ask why your going 90 mph lol ,

I will just go ahead to hit the dog and drive away. I am not being cruel, but I faced similar situation on the expressway (TPE) many years back.

That time, also driving about 90km/h and i swerved to avoid hitting a dog but I lost control of my "then" car and I skidded, spin 540 degrees and when i manage to stop my car, I am facing all the oncoming cars. Fortunately they stopped on time too.

It was a terrible nightmare and i vowed never to drive a nissan car thereafter.

WITH NO OUTS, I WOULD HAVE TO HIT THE DOG, BUT PULL OVER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND CONTACT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

Honk and slowly hit the brakes, but if I can't stop in time, the dog is gonna be dead.

I refuse to swerve because I've seen people flip cars doing that. Not worth it.

If I can avoid the dog without endangering myself or anyone else I'll swerve to avoid him. If not, sorry pooch, but your time has come.
