dam raccoons

animals need to learn to look both ways before crossing the street. i just hit a coon that was about the size of a medium dog, sent one side of the yaris airborn:eyebulge: busted up my bumper and busted out the driver side fog light and all the clips on the driver side:mad: well i'll have to look on the bright side and get a jdm bumper:thumbsup:

Sorry to hear that, and yes, certainly a good reason to try out a different kind of bumper :wink:

hey, as much as I feel for the raccoon, this could have been worse, 2 family members of mine were in a bad accident when my aunt swerved to avoid a coon, causing the car to fish tail, ending up facing on-coming traffic, getting hit, my uncle passed away at the scene, all because of a raccoon...

and that's why you never swerve.....

and that's why you never swerve.....

i think allot of it is instinct to swerve, I've done it myself,

ya when I first started driving I would try to swerve and brake. Most of the time now I will do that only if I know there are no other cars around, but even if there aren't I'll keep going at the same speed.... got places to go, people to see.

Sorry bout you accident man!

I think the worst instint is not swerving, but braking. Swerving, provided one looks before swerving, avoids the accident. Braking doesn't assure no hitting anybody (one might not brake on time) plus might cause the car behind one to hit us...

Hit a porcupine in Maine years ago….very bad results I feel your pain! :mad:

[501]

swerving all depends on the moment and situation its all a judgment call. that coon came out of nowhere and was running. still havent fixed the car just looking at all my options and still need to get an estimate. i am sad

Look on the bright side... at least you killed the fucker. :slice:
