Re: Truck Crash Resulting Driver Dead
In the US, commercial truck drivers are instructed/trained to run over that stuff (animals, furniture, errant roadway construction safety barrels, etc.). For the very reasons seen on this thread. It's tough to steer into an object rather than attempt to avoid it. For trucks, not autos. Some long haul trucks also have large cow catcher bumpers on them to plow through objects without damaging the truck.

Re: Truck Crash Resulting Driver Dead
On the winding roads of Scotland, I mind my dad just headed right for rogue rabbits, pheasants, etc on the road. No choice as road very narrow and for our safety. I was well taught how to put an animal out of its misery if the unfortunate creature wasn't killed |

Re: Truck Crash Resulting Driver Dead
I'm a truck driver in the States. They always tell us to just hit the animal. Did would be alive today if he just slowed down if he could and just hit it. |
