I am a new rider. I am from the US, retired in the Philippines. It can be argued here in PH that dogs on the road are the #1 cause of motorcycle crashes, injuries and death. Of course it is best to avoid. But what if you are going to hit the dog? I believe that locking up brakes and or sudden swerve is the worse thing to do. I believe that Holding on tight and taking the dog dead center is best. I rehearse this over and over in my mind. I repeat to myself, if in this last instant situation, hold on and say to myself: “Speed bump.” Hit the dog the same as if I suddenly came up on a speed bump too fast. Hold on and take the bounce and remain in control. The goal is to avoid going down in a crash. I am interested in what you would do if you are in a situation where you are going to hit a dog. What do you do in that final instant? Thank you.

Can you make caption in Bahasa Indonesia (I can help you if you want), since Indonesia is one of the largest motorcycle users in the world. I think this campaign very useful.
