That was the option I was faced with this morning.
Doing about 17mph going along a narrow stretch of road a squirrel darts out from the hedge at the side of the road. There is a car literally overtaking me at the time so I had about a meter of room to play with to my left and nowhere to go but into the car on the right.
Luckily the squirrel saw me in time and turned round and darted back just at the last second.
It just made me think what would of been the better outcome, brake and hit the squirrel head on and risk being thrown from the bike or swerve to the right and try and avoid the car.
I was going for the former...
