So I was driving the other day with a driving instructor. I was driving down the road and a squirrel ran out in front of me. My instructor just said "Just keep going, if it doesn't move it's his own fault". So I was thinking, why don't we think the same way about Humans? If a Stupid Human runs out in front of you, why don't you keep going cause "It was his own fault"?

Just something to think about.

well that would only lead to a hit and run case or manslaughter.

its just they have designated crosswalks for a reason.
most people are smart enough to slow down or take caution to someone j walking. J walking will get you a fine.

Cars, watch out for idiots jumping out on the road.
People, don't jump out on the road, they have crosswalks for a reason you know.
Animals, just watch the fuck out, I don't like hitting you, makes me feel bad.

You really bring up a good point, by breaking free of natural selection are we helping ourselves or dooming ourselves, it's an interesting thought.

hahaha, I like that thought. I stop for squirrels, I cant do harm to anyone, or anything that does not do harm to me first.

I remember learning in drivers ed to not break for animals because it can create a hazard to the people driving behind you. Seemed weird to me.

Whats odd is you're supposed to have a "good spacing" with things like "the 3 second rule", etc etc. So Stopping short shouldn't really be an issue if people practice better driving habits.

I know I know it's just a little squirrel and there are tons of them, but also if you think about it(i might sound like an ass on this one) what's one less human in the world. Ween out the stupid ones so to speak.

Again, not trying to sound like an asshole but if you think about it rationally that's what is the most "Rational" way of thinking about it.

Technicly the same rule applies in America, it was on my driving test. But 90 percent of Americans are dicks so they would sue and probably win either way. Oh well.
