Oooohhh, Kat, that's horrible! Your reaction was, at least to me, perfectly understandable, and I'm glad you were able to at least pull over safely.

It's hard when you live in areas that have expanses of unlit road - out here, on the outskirts of the city, we get a lot of donkeys, wild horses & mule deer. I can barely stand to be a passenger some times!
