Straddled

Drove up to Malaney in the Sunshine coast hinterland today. Used Google maps to plot the course which was properly a mistake as it sent us up a dirt road that turned out to be a no through road.
Anyhow, going round a bend and there is a snake across the road. No way to brake or avoid so I attempted to drive over the snake, then braked, got out and checked the snake. As I hoped the wheels missed the animal and she had realized that being on the road was not good idea and was busy getting off it.
I have tentatively ID ed the snake as a Golden Crowned snake Cacophis squamulosus, she wasn't that keen on sticking around .

No pics so it may not have happened.

So if I read this right, You missed hitting the snake and it got away unharmed.
If so, great work on your defensive driving skills. Im happy to hear there isnt another roadkill out there
If not, you suck and its time for you to take a defensive driving course :evil:

You did read it right, while I did drive over the snake, I also did miss it with all four tires which is the important part. Fortunately it was a small snake, less than a meter, so it was possible to drive over. A bigger snake across the road might not have been so lucky
