I had a bird hit my car, when I was doing about 40-50mph on a road once.... it was flying low and towards the car as the first I knew about it was when it got wedged between the door mirror and the door. I had to open my window and poke it off with a stick.

Driving along the other day in narrow lanes, a coach coming the other way hit a pheasant that'd just taken off ... and I ended up just missing his 4rse as he rolled across the road, then I drove through a cloud of feathers. The pheasant had been hit by the top of the coach's windscreen.

I thought everyone carried a knobkerrie around to humanely dispatch any chavs that are embedded in the grill?

Especially if you're a pheasant and it's October.

Best time of the year, it's a great pity pheasant eggs were not more popular.;)

last summer I was sat waiting for DD to come out of school when down the main road came a lady driving a red car, firmly implanted, head first in the grille was the biggest pheasant I had ever seen. I came to the conclusion she must have known it was there and didn't have the courage to remove it herself as there was no way she'd have missed the bang.

As an aside, someone round here hit a Jack Russell a few weeks back, drove home and it was still very much alive and amazingly uninjured in his front grille!

One of my ode mans work collegues hit a deer once in his van - wrecked the van, killed the deer reported the accident police attended and promply gave him a fixed penalty for hitting the deer.

Sounds far fetched. What was the offence code?
