Exactly what the questions asks. I have heard some people say "I am not getting in a wreck to save a long tailed rat", but I could never run over any creature knowingly. I have stopped to move a turtle off the side of the road even. I stop or swerve all the time for squirrels. How about you?
Do you break for squirrels?

i attempt to slow for animals
10/23/2012
I have only ever hit a bird, and that was because it flew into me and I had no way to avoid it! I always avoid all animals.
10/23/2012
Of course I will stop for a squirrel, as long as I'm not putting myself in danger in the process.

Only if I feel it won't endanger myself or anyone else. I've never actually hit a squirrel but the buggers have had some pretty close calls beneath my tires.

I always stop for animals, and if someone's tailgating me, I'll pull over and let them pass just in case someone or something runs out in front of me. I don't want any deaths on my conscious.
10/23/2012
As long as it's not going to hurt anyone else than I do. If the person behind me is going to hit me or something than no.
10/23/2012
If there is no danger to myself or others by doing so, then yes.
10/23/2012
Nope, since trying to avoid a squirrel is the easiest way to end up hitting a squirrel
10/23/2012
Yes, for any animal.
10/23/2012
I will if it doesn't endanger me.
10/23/2012
Yes I do!
10/23/2012
I will not try to hit them but neither will I put myself or others in jeopardy for the animal's sake.
10/23/2012
I break for all animals to the point that my bf now swurves toward them just to be funny
10/23/2012
For all animals.
10/23/2012
I don't really drive since I live in Manhattan, but yes, I'd break for a squirrel or any other animal provided it wouldn't put me or anyone else in danger.

go slow for all animals
10/23/2012
I always watch out, slow down and stop to let animals cross, and there are plenty here in the Northwest.
10/23/2012
Yes, I've even stopped for a shrew on the road once (surprised I even saw the little guy). It's just sort of my first reaction when I see any kind of animal on the road to avoid it, if it's at all possible.
10/23/2012
I always break for animals and people.
10/23/2012
I break for nothing. I don't drive, soo... yeah. If I did, I would at least slow down, though.
10/23/2012
I always attempt to avoid hitting animals. Once I hit a jackrabbit by accident (I was driving the speed limit, but he just popped out of nowhere) and I felt so bad, I went back to see if he could be saved but he was dead as a doornail.

I always try to avoid any animal or bird. That does not mean I am always successful at it--but I do try.I bawl like a baby if I was not able to miss them.

Yes, especially back roads here in the Northwest. I have hit a rabbit. It hopped out of a ditch and onto the road one night when I was on a dark back road. I really do try to slow down and avoid animals at all costs.
