Today, while driving my new car, a squirrel ran in front of me so I slammed on my brakes. The person behind me didn't notice and rear-ended me. The squirrel got hit by a car going the opposite direction. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I was driving my new car home when I came around a sharp turn to see a groundhog in the road. I kindly stopped and allowed it to cross when all of the sudden a car slammed into the back of mine. Then, another car went flying around us. That car hit and killed the groundhog. FML

Today, I crashed my car. I saw a deer getting ready to run into the middle of the road, and I was very sleepy, so I panicked and slammed on the brakes, causing me to lose control of the car on the wet road. After I hit a tree, I realized that the deer was a plastic lawn ornament. FML
Today, I bought a new car. Twenty-five minutes into driving it home, I hit a deer. FML

Hmmm... that's why you don't "slam on your brakes" for small rodents:(

You're supposed to keep driving unless it's a animal that can cause an accident, like a deer. Otherwise, surprise surprise, the abruptent stop can cause an even bigger accident than hitting a squirrel. I'm 16 and I know this.

I didn't even need to look at the comments to know people were going to say YDI. But OP, this should not be a YDI. People are morons and obviously don't know the road rules. If someone runs up the back of you, REGARDLESS of why you stopped, it is THEIR fault because they did not leave enough room between themselves and the next car (you). You might have to slam on the brakes for a child running out onto the road, a tree falling over, a car running a red light, a big animal, or a small animal. No matter the reason, the person behind is responsible for leaving themselves enough stopping room. If they haven't, it is their fault. In fact, most people I know have been taught you must never SWERVE if an animal is on the road (because you might hit a pedestrian or oncoming car), but instead, you should brake. This way you do NOT endanger any other people on the road (unless, apparently, some moron behind you is travelling too close to your car). The only appropriate time to swerve is if you're going to hit a person (eg. pedestrian or car).
