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, 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

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 was driving down the road when a dog suddenly runs 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 that owned the dog. Now I have to pay them because I saved their dog's life. FML

Murderer!

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

Road rage

Today, my dog was riding my car's passenger seat. He clambered over onto my lap, causing me to lose control of the wheel for a few seconds. As I tried to knock him off me, I lost track of my speed, and ended up being pulled over for reckless driving. FML

Today, I swerved to avoid running over a dead cat in the road. Instead, I ran over its head. The crack of its skull was loud enough for me to hear it. FML

Today, I was walking my husky when she saw a cat and bolted toward it. I couldn't let go of the leash because my hand was tangled up. Forced to run along, I ran into a parked van at full sprint. I lost my dog, broke two ribs and have to pay for the dent in the van. FML

Today, I was in a car accident. After screaming at the woman for running into me, I got in my car and drove off. As I was driving away, I was staring her down when I ended up rear-ending the person in front of me. FML

Today, I yelled at my dog for waking me up growling and barking out the window. He was doing it at the person stealing my car. FML

Today, I was driving along when the car in front of me ran over an animal. I only realised this when a chunk of flesh and blood landed on my windscreen. I put my wipers on to get rid of it but instead it got stuck underneath the wipers and smeared all over the screen. FML

You're a good person. At least it's summer. It would suck to have a cracked window in winter.

Sue the owners for the damages; dogs need to be kept on a leash.

heh the dog esp if a larger one could actually cause damage as well if you hit (though I do sincerely doubt as much as you did to be hoenst); and sometimes you don't have the time to break depending on your car and current speed. The swerving actually probably scared the dog as well so he growled. Well if its any condolence you did quite the good deed.

If there was a dog just wandering around off leash, it was probably a pedestrian area so if he swerved and did that much damage to the car, he was probably speeding anyway.

Rule of thumb: don't swerve for anything smaller than a deer. Brakes yes, swerve no.

Agreed~ If you hit it shame for dog.. But if you swerve and hit another car thats human lives you putting at risk. You can go to jail for killing human, not killing a dog..
