Not really what you want to see, that's fair.

I don't necesarily see it that badly, i would rather they weren't killed through our (human) actions though. The animals usually go back into the food chain, so they have been cut down early but they are still doing what they were eventually going to do anyway. They also make for an easier and safer subjects to look at and photograph, it is much easier get a close up look of a gwardar when it is dead than when it is alive! It's also good for amateur herpers to get an idea of where different species are found within their range. For example i was finding alot of DOR whip snakes on a certain stretch of road, why was i finding them there and not in other places? I found what was unique about that area, went and found that uniqueness in another area and i started finding more whip snakes.

Yes it's horrible, but it is always going to happen. We might aswell put it to use.

I don't think this thread is so bad, in actual fact as well as wairukazi's good points I should think it would raise a little awareness to keep an eye out while driving. Yeah, accidents happen and some are unavoidable but a fair few could be attributed to simply not keeping a proper eye on the road.
