Disgusted By Actions Of Cold Hearted Scums

[Interloper]

back in nz, i hit so many cats/rabbits/possums etc on the highways at night i lost count

do you think i stopped to check on them?.....

[Guest intouch]

although i sympathise with you, i agree with Al, the owners should have ensured it was off public roads.

Also its abit harsh to generalise these actions onto all skyline owners, there are idiots driving all different sort of cars!

but still, very sad to hear

yeah, you guys, or the thread post'er at least, need to take it easy.

were the dumbasses looking to hit the cat? if so, that's cruel and illegal.

today i had to swerve to the wrong side of the road to avoid a stupid dog that ran out from behind a parked car.

after my super cool evasive manouvre (i kid u not), this dumb dumb f(_)ck of a dog happily continued on its way, oblivious to the fact it had just escaped death. If i wasnt a nice guy, i would have got out and kicked the crap out of it and it's owners.

and if i'd caused or been involved in an accident while avoiding this dog, it would have been my fault, cos the law states that you must not swerve to avoid stray animals. it causes accidents.

dumb dog.

You saw some idiot driving 3 km over the limit, his car was low or loud, your jealous, whatever it doesnt matter, but you thought you would bring it to the attention of a respectable skyline community and make a hero out of yourself.

Luckily I was only doing 40Kph and the person was not seriously injured. But I still had that bad feeling.

If you feel so bad, then do something to actually help the situation, go find the owner of the deceased animal, buy them a new one, bury the old one and get on with your life.

i agree with what people are saying

if i had to choose between risking my life or an animal, obviously you come first. i would rather have the cat died rather than for the driver to go off the road and into someones house

but the issue is that he should have had the decency to STOP, pull over and see if it was still alive, instead of hesitating and then driveing off

would it have killed him to have compassion and see?

i also own a modified car (but the day in question i was in a toyota yaris) so i know that it isn't the car or make, it's the driver. i know this is a respectable community, in no way do i intend to bring shame to your community, but i am not trying to make a hero of myself.

because i did the right thing, i'm a hero? No, i'm just a normal person.

i'm sorry to hear that you have had to experience someting that draumatic and harsh. i don't wish that on anyone, ever!

but why should i have to bear the burden of soemthing that i didn't do? the decent thing for any driver to do is get out and see.

what i am trying to say is, it really really upsets me that anyone could be so callous as to not even get out and check that an animal is okay

I hit a person in my TX5 once...The front bar smacked him right in the head and knocked him to the ground...I asked him if he was ok, and he said sorry, and ran off.

Funniest shit i've ever seen

[timmy_Tam]

everyone here seems to be in either one of two thoughts

1. the driver shouldn't have be speeding and should have at least stoped to check up on the cat

2. the cat shouldn't have been there in the first place

i agree with both points fairly, but the first point has more merit to it.

it's hoildays, what if it had been a child?

the government put 50kph zones in all residential roads FOR A REASON.

at those speeds, it would have been possible to brake for it and maybe save it (or brake a few legs) or swerve around it

all the rage has passed out of me now, so i'll just say this

karma goes around and comes around

don't speed. don't even accelerate hard.

just because it's a residential road, doesn't mean theres no one around.

and please please PLEASE take responsibility for what you have done

peace out, and take care guys

besides the obvious (lucky you didnt kill him), i have only one thing to say:

lol I only find it funny because i was there and know it wasn't a bad incident...

The guy was running across the road, tripped and fell. I slammed on the brakes and skidded to a halt, which is when I hit him, JUST before coming to a complete stop....At that point he was trying to get back up, so he was basically in a crounched position, putting his head level with the front bar...I'm sure it would have hurt a bit, even though I was close to being stopped, but it still knocked him over...

I was like 'oh shit' because I thought I had hurt him, so I got out and asked if he was ok.

He yelled out 'i'm ok...sorry!' as he ran off down the street....

He was a bit intoxicated

My mate and I were in tears, it was an absolute pisser.

Still had to report it to the cops the next day, and even they thought it was hilarious.

[SKY031]

they were swerving like FCUK tarts all along corrigan road, merging in and out of traffic

turned into green street and started gunning it

i was behind you the whole way

Perhaps they thought you were playing games with them, or maybe they were too scared to stop because someone had been weaving in and out of traffic following them?

Maybe they didn't realise they'd hit anything?

Maybe they realised they hit it, but are allergic to cats and getting out to check the condition of the animal could have resulted in the driver needing an ambulance due to anaphylaxis?

For all you know they may have gone straight to a Police station to report the incident.

Regardless, it was only a cat, and it shouldn't have been on the road.

No animals should be left to roam free, especially animals which are predators and prey on local birds and wildlife.

For all you know they may have gone straight to a Police station to repot the incident.

lol. Probably not. I guess anything is possible. But yeah the point is we don't know their frame of mind.

dumb dog.

a good excuse to say when you are being a idiot on the road.

'Oh, I was trying to avoid the dog that ran on the road and hit a post.' some ppl I work with use that excuse when they stack their cars.....sad
