This morning when driving to the office (like 20 miles) I was on autopilot as usual:o
I am so glad that in the little villages I strictly respect the speed limits (knowing about the many outside cats that live here). Because there was this little black baby squirrel crossing the street right in front of me.
I was more or less sure it would be safe but still braked as heavily as I could (thanks BMW;) ) when the squirrel got frightened and turned back. Me brake like Godzilla- in the same time sure I will hear a bang from my rear end (ok, the one of the car) as there is a van behind me:rolleyes:
Can't see squirrel:( :( :( then it comes out in front of me somehow between my tires and runs over the street and into a garden:D :D :D
Plus: the guy behind me stands and is not honking his horn:D *thankyou man:D *
The other 18 miles I was still trembling. IF something would have happened to the cars it would have been all my fault as here it is for safety reasons forbidden to brake for small animals -but I am in the fraction of those who never kill a spider (although I am afraid of them) - how could I have lived with killing the cutest littel squirrel?
Hope squirrel has learnt something and stays away from the noisy monster strip:D
