Yep, I have seen it, and even seen folks run off the road to do it, rather hard to keep gun in holster. It's even harder when it is your son you see rolling into a heap on the side of the road, and not know if he is going to be alive or not when you get to him. I went through that one a few years back, miracles do happen, as it did that Christmas Eve. It almost seems that folks seem to think they are in a video game, except there are no extra lives. Today it still rattles me to hear tires screeching, but atleast the dreams finally stopped waking me up !
Happened to me three times. The first time I was 8 and I saddled up an old 36 year old mare we had after school and took her for a ride. It was just before I-95 opened and 17 A was busier than a hornets nest. I went across the road to visit my cousins and the horse ran off with me . She jumped the ditch and landed in the pavement hauling ass. I looked up and saw a chrome bulldog on a Mack truck hood I could have reached over and petted. Somehow we got by but my Lassie collie got smacked. I got the dam horse pulled up intime to see Lassie's heart ( looked like a can of dog food with a cone on the end rolling across the highway. Tore me up. I didn't even think about me or the dam horse. The truck driver pulled over and he was real sorry. I think we cried together.
The second was when I bought a piece of crap Bluetick that was suposed to be something else from a HS graduate that got called to Viet Nam. I bought it for 40$ of saved up money from cutting grass with a push lawn mower for a dollar an acre. It got smacked when it jumped in the road headed home at night when we were hunting. I had to borrow ten from dad and push that thing over another ten acres to pay him back. That one never bothered me at all except for pushing that dam lawnmowere but I chalked that one up to my idiocy. Anyway , his daddy was a dog trader so I should have known better from the get go. The third one was off a busy road, the dogs were trailing and get to running and i get to the road and this dog was coming full tilt. There was a car coning for six miles I could see it. It got a half mile off and I waved my light. it got 1/4 mile off and I waved more vigourouse. The dog hit the right of way and the car kept coming at a regualr 55 mph . Well there are some people that got them a drivers license that learned something about this is your lane and she was one of them kind to Never deviate from what the license book says. But this time I had a dog that was trained to come, more or less if he felt good about it but he was trained to drag his ass on the ground no questions asked if I yelled SIT. So I yelled Sit and saved his life while that schoolteacher was scared I recon that it was a stagecoach robbery in fact fixing to take place because that moron was certainly not going to deviate from her Double nickels or make way. Sho is glad i ai'nt one of the bicycle riders in stretchie suits. LOL your kindred think alikes could be your biggest danger. LOL LMAO.
