Thumbs up Scoob Saves Sheep........

Driving along the A33 (dual carriageway) at around the speed limit.....ish, misninght, no road lights and my mate says to me, 'imagine what it'd be like if a deer jumped out in front of you at this speed'

At which point a fully grown sheep comes frollicking down the middle of the inside lane.

An extremely quick change of lanes which the car handles superbly, I wasn't even worried. Had we been in my mates 200SX I fear we may have been reversing into a hedge at high speed. Had I been in my old Prelude - low bonnet, extremely poor lights, the sheep and maybe more would have been dead.

My mate says 'I said a deer'

On informing the police thay asked if the road was busy!

'No, not to busy, but it is a 70 mph road with a sheep running wild on it'

'Yeah, we'll send a traffic car'

You should try driving up the A82 towards Fort William. There's plenty of feckin Deer running across the roads. I know which one I'd rather hit

I've had a few lucky escapes with sheep on the roads. Last time was the wee single track road along Loch Earn. Middle of winter, snowing all day and I'm in a rush to get home Some stupid feckin sheep decides to jump the dry stone wall and land in front of my car.

Little sod left a wet nose smear right down the side of my car
