No I think that pretty much covers it.

Doesn't cover road kill as they are not in immediate pursuit of the purpose of killing it.

Close but no cigar. :rotfl:

Is it everyone now?
What about flies, is it ok to keep driving when you hit them?

Wonder what the last thing to go through that fly's head was.

Also, TBH I don't slow/stop/swerve to avoid anything smaller than a dog. It's just too dangerous.

Unless I am absolutely certain that there is no possibility of impacting any other road user, I personally wouldn't slow/stop/swerve to avoid anything smaller than a human being.

It's all very well avoiding hitting Fido, but not much consolation if somebody is injured or killed as a result!

(I did once hit a pigeon at around 120mph. It was all over far too quickly for me to react, but a friend who was driving a few feet behind me told me afterwards that there was a very spectacular shower of feathers.)

- If it's badly injured, are you going to wring its neck or batter it with your wheelbrace?

Provided that it's safe to stop, that's exactly what I would do, in fact I have done it on a couple of occasions.
Once was for a pheasant and once for a squirrel. I didn't use a wheel brace for the squirrel but I used the fire extinguisher I had in the car as I had previously seen what an annoyed squirrel could do to the snout of an inquisitive dog.
(They might look all soft and cuddly but they can be nasty little ba*****s at times.)

I'm sure they would be when you're trying to cave it's skull in.
