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 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 was on my way to a Thanksgiving dinner, with my dog in her seat in the front of my car. On the entrance ramp to the highway, my rear wheels spun to the left, and then my car spun completely around and hit the guardrail. My car is totaled. I'm broke, but at least my dog wasn't hurt. 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, 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

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

This argument depends on the type of vehicle you are driving. If you are driving a truck or suv then 104 is right the added height of the hood will likely cause you to slam into the side of the deer so you should brake which would just send the deer flying forward. Whereas if you were driving something lower to the ground like a Camaro then 101 is right, you should speed up because if you brake in a Camaro the front of your car would likely hit the deer in the legs causing the animal to land on your hood and slide up your windshield.

Legally, you're not supposed to swerve in that case. If the animal is as tall as your front bumper, you're supposed to brake, and if it's smaller, you're supposed to stop. One of my friends broke her arm and collarbone a few years back when she swerved to avoid a deer and lost control of her car. Needless to say, braking is safer.

You should've hit the dog. It probably growled at you because it WANTED to die.

That is when you kick the shit out of the dog and rip it's nuts off.

You saved its life. A little bit of damage to your car is worth it.

YDI That's why you use the brakes, not swerve...
