I'd drive over it and not run it over because I'm an excellent driver, my father taught me how to drive, I get my underwear at kmart.

Center the car over the turtle and keep going.
I like turtle soup.

Having been in this situation before, I'd stop and get out and move it...that was until one of those turtles tried to bite me... now I just straddle it, or go around it.

Since the turtle is in the driveway and could be the owners "pet" I would stop and put it in the grass. Many times I have safely stopped at the side of the road and put them out of harms way. Most have been snapping turtles. Watch out they have long a** necks and stink really bad, wear gloves and watch out for the Piss!

Be careful when you straddle it, if he gets ahold of your hang-down you'd be a hurtin' mess.
If you do want to help the turtle make sure you get it to the side it was trying to go to before you rolled up. If not it'll just try to cross the street again after you leave.
Turtles aren't stupid, they know where they're going, they're just too slow to get there fast. Traveling at that speed wasn't so dangerous before all these people started putting roads everywhere and driving cars down them. Don't forget that the turtles were here first.

i've stopped a set of doubles on a 2 way highway, put the flashers on to remove a huge tumbleweed. do the same for a turtle. have run over dogs. dear, squirrels and just about anything else ( except horses, cows , and bulls, err people too. ) cause if you swerve or brake too hard you could be dead.

You stopped a full set of doubles at highway speed to move a tumbleweed out of the road?
You need to stop posting as you have just lost what little credibility you may have had.

Since a tumbleweed does not have flashers, and they get really big, the prudent move was to remove it to prevent less experienced drivers from freaking out causing an accident. I'm sure olroadbeech made the right decision under the prevailing circumstances.
