Do. Not. Swerve.

I cannot tell you how many times I get annoyed with tire commercials that feature a car *swerving* around an animal. They're teaching people a very dangerous habit

Stupid commercials.... I learned from a former supervisor a long time ago not to swerve after he told me about a girl at his daughter's school dying because she had swerved to avoid an animal. It was sad the day I ended up running over a dog because of it, but it was either that or possibly getting rear ended on the "Penatrator" (highway that goes from I-94 to downtown Battle Creek) and causing an accident.

Heh. Some animals I actually aim for -- like the opossums in my neighborhood.
