At speed a kitten or a small puppy can be the cause of a fatal accident. I seldom do over 60 anywhere in town, closer to 40 kmh most of the time, so unpredictable.

Been riding bikes for 45 years, this place is the most dangerous, imo.
At speed, a kitten or a small puppy, makes one's suspension bounch a little, often accompanied by a a light sqeakin sound... imo.
LOL, I don't mean by hitting them, I mean by swerving to avoid them.
Jesus loves you...Mexico is great, right? ;)

From today's Khmer Times.
24 November 2017
PHNOM PENH - Three men were killed in a traffic accident on Phnom Penh’s Preah Sihanouk Boulevard yesterday.
Deputy traffic police chief Sem Kunthea said the three died at the scene. One of the victims was Cambodian, the other two Europeans, from Sweden and Germany.

The accident happened when the two European men’s bike hit an SUV.
The Cambodian man was a pedestrian passer-by, Pou Sok, 60. His body was given to his family for a funeral to be held.

The two men were not wearing helmets, a fact highlighted by Mr Kunthea, who insisted on the importance of wearing protective gear when driving a motorcycle in the city.
Their bodies were taken to Stung Meanchey pagoda until their families can be reached by their respective embassies.

Don't swerve. Brake in a straight line and, just before impact, release brake, give gas and relax arms.

99% of time the creature has scarpered. the other 1% one rides over them.
