I Hit a full grown German shepherd dog while i was on my safari. This unfortunate incident happened today morning.
Was on my Safari on GST road. The location is out of limits and it's just a few hundred meters away from the toll collection both. I was around 80km while the dog appeared in the lane crossing the opposite lane and passing the through the plantations. I had enough braking distance but a bus following me and a lot of vehicles were closing following each other. The moment i saw the dog in the lane i looked at the ORVM and see the bus very close behind me. I relaized that if i break the bus will not be able to stop and that too lot of vechile were behind the bus. I sterred to the left but no avail. The dog was hit on the bumper and thrown away.
I pulled the car by side of the road and checked the dog but it was dead. A girl and three guys rushed from the opposite lane and started scolding me. It was their dog. seems they stopped the car on the opposite lane and the dog ran away from them.
I even said sorry but they were abusing me. I did not talk back as i felt fault was on me. I immediately call the police. The police arrived on the scence with a Sub inspector and a driver on patrol vechile. The police tried to pacify them. But the guy said that his dad is x and so and so. The cop got angry and said nothing can't be done. He asked me to leave the place. So I left. When I recall the incident I felt i should have breaked or not. If it's a human, I would have breaked definately. A dog life is less than a human? Am i at mistake? the day was spent thinking about this. I checked my safari but no damage on the bumper.
