Was coming down a dual carrage way, just got out of the slip road, carried on in the left hand lane, was doing about 65, and there was a fucking dog in the middle of the road ! didnt see it till it was last minnit, moved over to get out of his way and lost control, went in a snake line for a bit then hit the crash barrier in the middle did a full 360 and ended up at the side of the road, just bearly missed going into a ditch, it was the most scariest thing i have ever been involved in the car almost rolled so it could have been a lot lot worse..
heres a list of what i could see that was wrong with it..
Smashed front bumper
Bent/Buckled bonnet and its also off its hindges
Both front wings are damaged
The front alloy has a massive chunk out of it
All the other wheels are scratched to fuck
Both rear pannels are dented
Smashed/ hanging off rear bumper
The back wheel is out on an angle like this --> instead of |---| its like \---|
And under the bonnet the engine has moved over to the left a few inches..
All that happend and the airbags didnt come out 
Stupid fucking dog i shud have plowed straight over it, it was just instict to move out of the way
Waiting for a fone call to see whats gonna happen bout it, im not the most happiest person today

Shit mate,
That aint good, my pa always told me to run over animals if they're in your way, only avoid humans, however I thought it was a bit nasty and besides its just pure reaction to move out of the way of danger init!? You'll know for next time what to do, but at least you saved a poor wee dogs life!!

obviously u wudn't leave the dog if u hit it. it shudn't av been in the middle of the road anyway, shud be with the owner and if out for a walk shud be on a lead.. my mate ran into a dog after it ran out of sum1's gate n it was the dogs owners fault then.
but u didn't hit the dog lol sorry to hear bout the car mate! so long as ur ok, thats the only thing that matters

We pushed it off the road and a recovery man just came along as we was contemplating what to do, he got out of his van and said "was it that dog" i said yeah and he carried on to say, "i nerly hit it aswell" and just randomly stopped to see if we was ok

No if it was unnavoidable then the police would do fcuk all, the law is you 'have to inform the police or owner'
I would've gone for the dog  unless it was a big fcuker
