Why does it happen to the good guy.
I was going up town today and I live on the outskirts of Wolverhampton so I turned out of my road on to an empty main road. Now this road is really long, straight and wide and the footpath is quite a distance from the road itself so putting your foot down is extremely tempting. However being only a 30mph road I was resisting temptation and stayed in 4th gear.
All of a sudden this big labrador shot out of a farm gate and I felt two bumps as it went under both passenger side wheels. I felt so sick it was unreal, this is my 1st accident.
So I pulled over and got out and there was no dog on the road, instead it was running round its garden (although it had a black stripe down its side from where I had gone over it) with its tail wagging like mad.
The bloke took it to the vet and its got a cut on its shoulder and had 6 stitches.
Just to give you a sense of it, the dog split my bumper in 3 places and went under both wheels and it only got a cut.
It just p***es me off that I was doing 30 and while I was talking to the guy who owned the dog people were whizzing past at 50 and 60mph, makes me sick:yuck: No justice.
