How to upset me in one easy drive…! Wildlife that have no idea how to cross a road, when a vehicle going by is travelling at around 50mph… And I would have missed it if the silly creature did not do a u-turn… sigh!
Just to make matters more frustrating, the thing is jammed inside the front of the car, and so far no amount of leg-pulling has been sufficient to set it free.
I am unsure how much a new front replacement will be, but doubtless like most things car related these days, it is unlikely to be cheap.
If that’s all the damage then it’s very repairable.
Poor wildlife, they didn’t stand a chance, the shock of seeing you hurtling towards them.
I had a deer once cross my path, very scary, just think of the mess had it stopped.
Frustrating day for you but, on the flip side whilst we enjoy our cars and other forms of travel, wildlife was here long before any motorised transport and I dare say long after humans vacate the planet the wildlife will get it back
The other day I saw a cock pheasant at the side of the road with feathers drifting about, apparently recently run over. However, as I passed by I saw another male was flying at it, hitting it with it’s feet and pecking it.
I couldn’t work out if it was trying CPR or had just won a fight to the death. Perhaps this is what happens in the mating season.
I’ve woken up after a night out to find a bat stuck under my windscreen wiper.
My boss blew up his BMW engine after hitting a fox. It cracked his sump, the oil drained away and the engine seized.
I agree. Driving along a road a bird flew out of the hedge and I had no chance to stop because by the time I saw it, it was too late as it struck the windscreen before I could react. I still feel bad about it and that was at least 6 years ago.
This is in stark contrast to others I knew where I used to live who would carry knives with them so that when not if they hit one of the roaming sheep, they could make sure it was dead and detach it from the vehicle.
Having spent years in the criminal justice system you think you’ve heard everything about how humans harm each other and animals but this is a new one on me
I mean you’d think they would care about their vehicles and the cost of repair at least
