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.

Sounds like a great idea for a movie!

Something like that yeah, that squirrel was at the very top of the list! Better it than me!

It's funny, #16, because you said "I'm 16 and I know this" and, sure enough, you're the 16th post... Also you are very correct.

People have died "saving" animals in the road. You got lucky.

wow. poor squirrel. pray it won't come back to haunt you.

I have a feeling I've read 5 other FMLs identical to this.

Yeah, save the animal, but possibly kill yourself in the process...

Well then, Mr. Squirrel, I'm going to have to say YDI for playing in the street.
