Has Any Animal Run Into Your Car While Driving? by fineboynl(m): 12:21pm On Jul 01, 2023
My first experience was a flying bird. The bird were just flying try to cross before my car. But with my spend i just know the bird cant make it through. I only has the sound of heating it from the front bumper.

Another one again was street rat crossing the main road.

I was returning from club around 4am. After much alcohol I decided to just go slowly.

On my way i saw this street rat crossing over my front. I never want to hit it as i even try slow down but still i heard the splash of my tyre climbing it.

Nearly ran into a herd of cows who walked into the express along Abuja Airport road around 2021..

Was doing around 170 or so, as I was late for a flight... The swerve-and-dodge cost me two brand new tyres....

That 2010 Accord's excellent brakes saved my life that day... No loss of control, no somersault or run-into-bush, but a lot of tyre-screeching and swinging around in wide circles for what seemed like an eternity.. Just a lot of burnt tyre rubber, and 60k spent replacing the burnt tyres.


2nd one was a human along Akoko-Akure Express around 1am sometime this year... Some nigga threw a log into the road to stop a oncoming commercial bus who I was behind.. Bus dodged the log, 2nd bus following it closely at high speed ran into log and ran into bush.. me too I saw log too late.. I reflex dodged log but faced about two dudes standing on the road shoulder holding long knives... I didn't stop to find if guys survived or not...Na dem sabi wetin dem hold long knife dey find for inside express-way bush for 1am....

I met up with the bus that escaped at the next army checkpoint...We told them what was going on behind us and I gave them a description of the guys I ran into while dodging the log (best I could notice about them at the speed I was on and in that confusion with my headlights was that they were both in Ankara up-and-down and held long knives). They then entered their hilux and went to clear that place and rescue those trapped by the robbers.... Since we discovered from buses coming from the opposite direction that the robbers' brethren were operating in front too, we waited at the checkpoint for the soldiers to come back from their clearance operation and do another clearance operation in the direction we were facing... Soldiers made no mention of any dead robbers, even though we heard series of gunshots when they went on that clearance grin

You no be soldier, you no be Police, you no be Custom, you no be Civil defence.. But you wear Ankara stand for expressway bush with long knife for 1am...As you no like yourself, who am I to care about your welfare?

It was my most scary road experience till date...


But I have since made up my mind that even if na my mama I see wey enter my front with weapon for expressway bush, I go hit am without even stopping to spit.. Unless of course, I see an identifiable Security force Uniform.. Even tho those thieves dey wear Soldier and Police uniform dey do operation sometimes, I consider it better for me that I stop and get robbed by those ones than to assume wrong and kill a security officer.


I have a colleague who is near-death because of these useless people... Bus dude was travelling in was stopped by robbers around Lokoja Road at night.. Robbers ordered all passengers to lie on the road while they were searched and robbed.. A bus oncoming from the opposite direction which the robbers tried to stop didn't stop, but sped on and ran over my colleague and other passengers who the robbers had lain down in the middle of the express... Man's legs and spine was crushed into raw meat and bone... Now we are wishing him death so that he can rest from all the pain and screaming..

On these roads, it's kill or be killed... You waka anyhow for express with weapon, people like me plenty wey ready to kill you saraaaa.

A native fowl

Didn't care to stop because those birds are darn smart

Probably didn't crushed it because there was no sound on my tires, it probably must have just manouvered itself to safety under the car, as I was driving slowly along the Benin City ever bumpy road
Re: Has Any Animal Run Into Your Car While Driving? by 18wheeler: 7:02am On Jul 03, 2023
A pig in April 2010. Dat creature na bast**d. I was returning to Jos from the village, doing about 140km/hr and I saw it walking across the road casually. I dropped speed and by my calculation I would avoid it by swerving a little. All of a sudden the maniac increased speed in order to outrun my approach and …. I practically ran over it at about 90-100km/hr. I nearly went off road but luckily no car was approaching and I managed to stay on the road though I found myself on the other lane. My bumper peeled off the car, fog lamps shattered and one of the beams in front bent. The shocking thing is that before I managed to park, this animal just rolled on the tar, got up and sped into the bush. How did that animal not die? I wondered. Even the villagers were surprised. I just managed to tie my bumper with a copper wire and continued my journey.

Pigs stiffnen its body tight before impact. It rarely dies from car accidents. Na ur motor go spoil. Just slow down to zero if you sight a pig

2021.

Between Ore and Sagamu.

Was doing 90mph when one local dog suddenly appeared. In a bid to avoid hitting it, i stomped on the brake pedal like a drunk who missed a step while climbing kilimanjaro. After what seemed like eternity, with the minivan threatening to lose itself off my grip, i eventually slammed into the poor dog.

Cost me my bumper, a few minutes and some sympathy for the faithful departed.

May his loyal soul continue to rest in peace. Amin.

🙆 Ewoo.

Okay I did ask already.

2020 I was in Kaduna state. I dey go see one female for Sabo from Ungwan Rimi.. cool evening. Coronavirus just dey start so restrictions of movement never dey in full force with that area.

There's a place called kamazoe after Janrua.. there's a slight bend on the stretch of road that leads to and away from that settlement.

Omo that place get human concentration so I dey always slow down for that bend except na midnight. I dey do maybe 50 or 60 km/h.. imagine how slow I was going to still have caused that much mayhem.

Na so pig enter from nowhere, no reaction time, less than one second no cap.

I smash am, bumper scatter, fog light sope oti lo, people help me gather things dem fit help me gather, say thankGod I no try dodge the animal say I for somersault or hit human being, say I be expert driver, many many talk... Remember corona wahala just start fresh fresh.. with gara gara I enter the car market after Airforce base (I don forget the name). No follow come bumper say na Dubai dey, I buy am and buy fog light too, price with labour and body work for the bumper no be here at all. Motor na ES350.

Anyway moral of the story be say.. after I repair motor, I go back about a week later to that same area wey the accident sup and asked the very same question wey you say make I ask because I was curious; pig sef no die as I dey there... The guys I met there say; Kai say I for wait small as the accident happen, say the animal die about an hour later and say them for let me carry am go at least to mitigate cost of repairs for my motor.. them come dey hail me as i don repair the car and the accident no show.. actually the Dubai bumper fit baje baje like stock and the paint work sat well. Well, as the animal die that night, Dem later use am do better buffet, you know Kaduna people with pigs and dog meat.

Well maybe the one wey I hit fit don dey sick already, who knows! 😎
