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

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

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 understand why the OP slammed on the brakes, but that was a very careless thing to do. Besides, if you knew your Seinfeld lore you would understand that we have no deal with the squirrels. :-)

live in alaska. if you slam on your brakes and the car behind you doesn't have time to stop, it means they're at fault because they're driving too close. but you're really only supposed to slam on the brakes for animals that can do damage (here it's porcupine, moose, caribou, stuff like that)

You're not supposed to break for animals... It's just as dangerous as swerving

never avoid small animals, unless it is safe, for this reason
