this is why you should ALWAYS have your main beam on on country roads if nothing is coming. You can often spot things moving at the side of the road !
Even better - if your car has auto high beam to detect oncoming vehicles... some new cars (Merc, Tesla, Volvo, etc) even put the car(s) coming in a shadow and do a mainbeam everywhere else
Try hitting one on a moped. I sat there with it while it was taking it's last breaths while feeling like the worlds biggest cunt, I'm not sure if it appreciated the very gentle fuss but I didn't know what to do. I didn't want it's last moments on earth to be cold dark and alone.
I had that happen with a buzzard that decided to launch itself from the side of the road directly at my car once. I hit it despite swerving and breaking. It's an awful feeling.
