well....i was just driving home from my girlfriends, and i was cruising happily at 60ish, all of a sudden, into my shamfully dim head lights appeared a badger about 10m infront of me,it just stood there. i tried slowing, but there was know chance, and the thing didnt want to move, so unfortunatly i had to hit it. there was know way i was going to swirve (my mate rote off a clio swirving for a phesant). rip badger. the bloody thing wrote off my number plate though and dented my front a bit.but it could have been worse if id swirved.

Someone told me that if you ever get attacked by a badger, the best thing to do is to put ryvtia around your ankles. Apparently, when a badger bites you, it woun't let go until it hears the bones crack. THe idea is, that it cracks the ryvita, and lets go.

So, next time you see someeone with ryvita in their socks, you'll know why.

i'm interested to know how someone being attacked by a badger would have the presence of mind to put a ryvita down their socks!

"excuse mr ravenous savage badger, please stop attacking me while I craftily slip this ryvita into my sock, so you'll think you've hurt me when you haven't really, mwahahahaha!"

Good plan though, although a stick might be easier to find in the areas badgers reside!!!

You were lucky with the damage encoutered really, badgers are heavy buggers, could have knackered your grille or damaged the front panel/wing seam.
