Oh my god that was so scary, dark as fuck outside going 55 on country roads when I see a weird dark spot ahead-oh fuck that’s a family of bears. I swerved and slammed the brakes and everything is okay but holy fuck.
It was a mother black bear and 2-3 cubs, they were super cute for the second I could see them.
Yes, it's good to go slower. Even reducing speed from 100 km/h to 70 will cut your kinetic energy in half and let you stop a lot sooner.
