|  Strange things in the road
What is the strangest thing you've ever spotted in the road?
I think we've all seen a shoe or item of clothes but the other day I saw a divers flipper!
Maybe he couldn't drive properly with it on and had to take it off!

I've seen a dead badger in the road on the A30 in Hampshire once! Was quite surprised at the size of it! It had definitely not missed a home cooked meal

I see plenty of badgers, deer, foxes and other small animals on my commute as it goes through countryside and forestry areas. The deer can make a right mess if collected full on! Not too long ago there was a Clio parked up one morning, front end, windscreen and roof all stoved in with a large doe on the roadside. | |

I'd have had that deer in the back. Venison's not cheap. | |

I think it had been there for a few hours, so not the best time to pick it up. They need to be bled dry as soon as possible. I think by law roadkill can be picked up by any following car but not by the one causing the accident or death. | |

I saw a hitch-hiking clown a couple of years back. Wandering the motorway and trying to get people to pick him/her up. But hey! Who inte their right mind picks up a clown? Late at night? In between the middle of nowhere and someplace???

I once saw a squirrel nearly knock itself out on a concrete divider on the M62 or M18 I can't remember which. Was soooooooo funny I nearly rear ended someone I was laughing that much.
