I'd like to state something here....it would be easier for you to manuever around the racoon/dog/whatever since your vehicle, a motorcycle, doesn't take up an entire lane.

And cars can't just stop like that. Usually when the animal is within the line of sight....it is too short of a distance for a car to stop in which means the animal is getting hit. I know since I was in the car with my mother when she hit the dog. She had less than a second to stop/swerve when it was in the middle of the road. And that second includes the time it takes for your brain to realize HO' SHIT! THERE'S A DOG! So you have less than second at night. During the day....a little bit different.

But cars don't stop the second you push on the brakes no matter how hard you press and cars? Are big and harder for animals to dodge and for humans to get them to swerve than a motorcycle.

And if you stopped going 65 that quickly on a motorcycle, you should've went flying and have severe trauma since motorcycles do not have seatbelts.
