General panda 1 badger 0

[kevin_ross100]

I was on my way home the other night and on the exit to a bend there was a badger sat in the middle of the road. In a split second I decided not to swerve as i might clip it with the wheel and break that so I went stright for it. BANG! so I thought here we go thats bound to have broken somthing looked at the underside not a scratch every thing is fine so as the title said

PANDA 1 BADGER 0!

You are an idiot...

You are an idiot...

why is that then I had no time to react and as I siad if I tried to aviod it I would have cliped it and that might have made the tyre blow out what was i ment to do?

 

[dave]

i think you have to report hitting a badger them being protected an all.

 

[sammiboo]

would you have done the same if it was a child....

 

[Steven]

You should have made an effort to avoid it. Instead you "decided not to swerve" and kill it. Then you come on here bumming about it. In capital letters you write "PANDA 1 BADGER 0!" like it's something to brag about. Like I said, you're an idiot.

It's a bit of a dilemma, do you swerve to avoid the wildlife, and pray that you don't leave the road/suffer tragic accident?

Or do you just carry on, puting your own safety above Mr & Mrs Doe? (Oh dear!)

Bearing in mind the tinfoil doors, roof and rusty engine bulkhead in my car - the badger would have to go!

Alternatively, I am sure that there is an argument for slower driving/better driver observation making such an incident impossible, but not from me!

The panda forum voice of reason

As I said it was right on the exit to a bend on a country road at night

 

[dave]

ooo this is strange one coz around country bends here at night there is often people walking dogs and teenagers drunk, better to drive around them slower being prepared for anything in the road.

Kevin, my problem with your post is that you seem to find the whole situation amusing. I'd be in bits if I hit an animal, you don't seem to bothered at all.

Well i hit a badger on a 50cc trially bike and it just waddled off into the night whilst i was left to to pick myself and bike out of a hedge... so I think that badgers do get revenge!!!

 

[Yak]

Its not nice to hit animals on the road but it amazing the amount of people that swerve to miss an animal in the riad and hit a tree / car / people.

The tone of the post was a little off as I would have been a bit sad having hit a badge for the badger sake.... as for the local sum the ripped my wing mirror off

 

[ben]

calm it ..... (rubbish trimmed)

i hit a pigeon in the asda car park a little while ago, it made a nasty crunch sound and i went round the car park, i saw it wasn't dead, had just crunched its wings.

Drove back round to get it properly, but missed, so had to reverse over it. All the people in the c/p were just staring probably thinking "that sick man is reversing over pigeons!!!" - horrible.... i felt sick

However it is a tough call, swerving to miss something can be very dangerous i would be more inclined to go over it.

I also can sometimes have some bizarre humour.... but i'm sure the guy isn't proud he hit it, just a 'someone had to go situation' just phrased badly.

No more arguing or i lock this!!! (incidently, in the arcade 'Just Not Cricket' you get to beat badgers to death with a cricket bat... )

.... ok, i'll get me coat

 

[jamie86]

Ben- I didn't have an issue with the original post it was the people who have obviously just signed up to the forum to try and cause trouble.

Anyways backing down and should really get on with some work...
But it's friday! Yeah!

 

[ben]

Sorry, my mass deletion has made my post look a bit petty now I wrote it first, deleted after...

 

[jamie86]

Can you delete my posts as well.Lol

I was looking at the user online page and there were a load on only looking at this thread. About 6 joined then at the same time.

 

[imola_fowkes]

i also hit a pigeon by accident noticed in the mirror it was suffering and had to put it out of its missery sorry all

 

[ben]

Weird thing about mine, was it didn't even try to fly up (i normally just drive at them and they move) - this fool just stayed down. My mum was in the car too, and made me drop her at the other end of the car park whilst i drove back

What was for tea that night, pigeon pie? - with rubber bits....
