I'm so thankful for those "Brake for Moose" signs......I never would have even thought to hit the brakes if I saw a moose in the road....Until now I thought you were supposed to drive right into them.learn something new every day.  |
I'm sure your'e joking but you know there are some drivers that do just that. I bet that at least 6 cars were stopped in the middle of the road while a herd (10 or more) of whitetails crossed Rte 3a last year. We watched incredulously as some insane driver no less in a small convertable, pulled around all the cars blowing the horn and blasting through. Now I ride horses along the road side and I'm usually looking down on the rooftops as cars speed by. It only takes a second and I don't care if it's a moose, whitetail or a horse. You hit it and it'll come down on your windshield. If'n that driver had hit one of those deer at the speed he was going that deer would have been sitting in his lap and it probably would'nt have been a good scene and worse could have injured or killed others nearby.
