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

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.

although throughout the number of years I have been driving I've NEVER hit a squirrel, if there was somebody behind me I wouldn't have stopped. for this exact reason. and this exact reason I said YDI.

Squirrels are the stupidest animal. They run right in front of our cars right as we come down the road.

you shouldnt have stopped, if it were its destiny to die, thats its destiny and no one can change it. Reminds me of a story that happened to me awhile ago: There was this little bird, with a broken wing, in the middle of the road. When I saw it, I immediately parked my car on the other side of the road and ran to save it. When I got close, literally 1 meter away, a city bus squashed it and its blood got on my shoe. And as i was waiting for the traffic to clear up, I witnessed a kid rob my wallet and cell phone from my 5 meters away car. FML
