re: #90 Backwoods_Sleuth

I remember some study quite a while ago where the researchers put a rubber snake in the road and then counted how many people deliberately swerved to run over the snake.
It was a LOT of drivers…

Saw a pick-up ahead of my brother once swerve onto the shoulder to take out a 4-5’ long corn snake. My brother’s immediate remark was that he hoped the rats ate that guy’s crops.

Mix of ignorance, fear, and temporarily holding a live or death decision over a creature. All the Biblical anti-snake rhetoric certainly does not help.
