I was driving in the middle of the night, along a desolate stetch of road in the north of Sweden - going a bit too fast (thought I could gain a little bit of time - stupid - I could have waited a few hours until daylight).
Then suddenly there were two moose - pretty large animals - ahead of me moving from right to left.
I hit the brakes, but it was clear it wouldnt' help. I knew knew it would go BANG. The last second or so I let go of the steering wheel and covered my face with my hands. Pure instict.
Killed one moose outright, wounded the other badly. It was later finished off by a policeman with his service pistol (normally hunters do this but none could be found that night)...
...I know the pictures look a bit dramatic, at least I hope they do - becasue I'm trying to scare you from driving stupidly fast :mad: ..., but as for myself all I got was this silly scratch:
Phew when i saw all that claret i thought the worst......and don't worry i don't drive fast, i've had my own scare in the past and have NO wish to repeat it. :(
