Default Suprise sheep in dip of road!

Was driving along a country road the other day, came over a sharp crest, keeping to the left as normal, and when i could see into the dip, there was at least 200 sheep packed tight blocking the whole road!! and only 30 metres from me! Was a suprise! (Absolutly no where to go!), braked trying not to lock it up, did pretty well, but still had a bit of tyre smoke. Pulled up about 1 metre from the sheep who were just looking at me!

Farmer up the other end pushing them along with his ute and dogs said "How you going mate?" , "yeah good thanks" I said.

There were no stock crossing signs.

Good times.

Be careful out there!! You just never know!!

Saw some other massive skids over crests nearby, and can only imagine similar surprises for drivers!!

Test out your braking a bit too, its nice to know you can safely pull up in a distance you can be confident at when something happens.
