I dont have a problem being held to a high standard.
I do have a problem...being held to an irrational and idotic standard.
As drivers, we make thousands of decisions every day in real time and in the real world. When an accident happens, those decisions will be second-guessed by a management person who is employing 20/20 hindsight from behind a desk. So the management person will always be right, and the driver will always be wrong.
Upon what logical, rational basis does the species of the animal play a role in determining the avoidability of the accident that kills it?
As I indicated earlier, I would agree ownership would be a silly way to determine avoidable or no with any particular accident.
On the flip side, it occurs to me that automatically assuming every hit of an animal, wild or domestic on a public road would have to be unavoidable would also ignore the circumstances of each individual case.
