Today, while driving home, I swerved to avoid turning a duck and her babies into roadkill. Another car was coming around a sharp bend at the time and swerved to avoid hitting me. In the end, we both ran our cars off the road, and he took out several ducks in the process. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while driving, I put on my hazards and slowed to a stop to let a family of geese cross the street. The pick-up truck behind me however, decided to change lanes and speed off, running over at least half of them. FML
Today, I swerved out of the way to avoid hitting a squirrel, and in the process hit another squirrel. FML
Today, as I was driving home from work, a bird decided to commit suicide by flying in front of my car. The shock caused me to slam on the brakes, totaling three other cars in the process. FML
Today, I saw a turtle on the road so I swerved, and hit a tree. The people behind me then hit the turtle. FML
Today, while driving home I saw a few deer running beside me. I stopped to let them go in front. Instead, one face-plants, ramming into the side of my new car. 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 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 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, as I was driving, a bird swooped down, right in front of my car. I didn't have enough time to react, and so I had to listen to my wife cry the rest of the way home. She kept talking about how it bounced off the windshield and how it probably had a family. FML
Today, I swerved to miss hitting a kitten, over-corrected, hit and killed the cat, and totaled my truck by hitting a parked car. FML

It may sound irrational but you are actually spose to just hit the ducks and not swerve so you don't end up hurting someone else. Your efforts were valiant though.

As bad as it is, you just gotta keep going for your safety and others on the road. As long as it can fit under your car, and wouldn't damage it, you're supposed to keep going straight and hope for their lives that they get the **** out of the way before you get to them. I've only had my license for a year, and I've hit a raccoon, a possum, and a frog, because they didn't get out of the way in time and there was cars behind me so it's not like I could've stopped. It's sad, but your safety is more important than theirs.

Sorry for your luck OP but this is an YDI. Drivers Ed 101 teaches you to never swerve or slam on your brakes for animals. It sucks for them but that's the only way the roads stay safe for you and other drivers.

the amount of people who truly believe their lives are worth more than everything else's is a little disgusting and pathetic to me.

I'd brake in that situation. I'm actually considering getting a bumper sticker that says something like "I brake for God's creatures."

My brother was killed by another driver swerving to avoid a small animal. Please hand in your licence before you kill someone.
