hit and killed a dog on sunday, was on the dual carriageway doing about 60 when a big dog ran straight out in front of me, looked like a doberman type, f**k me what a fright i got, was in the car with my 8 year olds seen the dog had been looking in my mirrors and knew there was a car behind me in the inside lane (i was in outside) so i didnt want to swerve and panic him into crashing so i just braked hard hit the horn then hit the dog, oh deerie me what a mess, the dog was pan bread, the bumper, grill and vent are wrecked but hey ho we are all ok.
reported it to police, the officer asked was the dog moving after i hit it, i said yes for about 100yds then it stopped rolling, will cost me £100 excess for repairs, and got a phone call from insurance today asking if i had details of dog owner as they were going to pursue them for the costs, i didnt so the guy wasnt chuffed. first crash/incident in over 20years
