No, you twit, I do not
always obey the speed limit. I don't think there is anyone out there who does. I said that
under the circumstances where these animals were hit, I was obeying the speed limit. I commute through park lands every day and I know how strict the cops are with enforcement, so you would have to be an idiot or not paying attention to exceed the speed limits through there. You would also have to be an idiot to exceed the speed limit knowing the number of animals, especially deer, that are in that place. I've been especially vigilant driving through there, and I've still managed to hit two deer.
The dog was the only larger animal I hit that wasn't on that particular route. This was years ago on a busy street where everyone
has to travel roughly the same speed.
I do not specifically recall all of the circumstances involved when I have hit smaller animals. I will not swerve to avoid animals of cat-size or smaller, with the single exception of skunks.
