Depending on traffic I might have tried to go around them.
dbussone: That is a common scenario. In Minneapolis/St Paul like many cities I am sure, Canadian geese strut across interstates with their little goslings. You would expect to hear the continuing percussion of metal crashing but God's hand direct traffic well. However the rules of the road clearly state a driver's obligation to maintain safe clear distance.
