I hope the owner doesn't have more than 1 child!
That's a wee bit shady! Mind you, the greys are little 5h1ts to the reds aren't they. Still wouldn't want to flatten one though. I ran over a frog once, felt like right git. I saw it hop into the middle of road when I was dropping a mate off one night. I had a look on the way back & its back end was part of the road unfortunately! :(
I've bumped a couple of birds as well. Shortly after one of those unfortunate occasions I said to a mate "I ran a bird over before, I feel like a right (beep)" his eyes widened & he looked shocked. He thought I meant a woman. Nice to see that gentlemen are so respectful in the way they converse about ladies! :D
the amount of times I've had to swerve around cats and young (hooded youths) on my estate is ridiculous, what's more annoying is, if any of my dogs or horses run out onto the road and cause an accident, I'm held responsible.... you try that one with a cat... the young 'scrotes' are obviously an exception, you ought to receive a medal for such remedial work.
Disclaimer - I have never actually run a cat, or any other animal for that matter, over, I like my tyres black :approve:
Here, here. A waste of perfectly good organs that could be put to better use in more worthy people!
As for red squirrels they're not only in books now, although not far off unfortunately!

I've killed several animals in my time, a couple of cats, rabbits and most recently a wood pigeon that was rather slow on take off. I ended up with a wing stuck in my grille and blood all up the bonnet.
Silverstone was great. i still ache and am still catching up on sleep.
When I was a kid a dog that we had (his name was Sandy) got knocked down & killed. The (self censored) who hit him made my parents pay for a new number plate on the front of his car because there was a crack in it. :mad:
I'd be more gutted about killing a dog than a bloody crack in my number plate!
Or am I just too soft? Would anyone demand a couple of quid from a grieving owner who's little mate you'd just squished?
On a more bizarre note, my brother ran a cow over once! It rolled up the bonnet of his rather lovely oak green mk2 Golf GTi Campaign edition, denting the hell out of it! The cow simply stood up, looked at him, snorted & ran off! :boggled:
