Driving to Squash Reptiles

Drivers will swerve their cars to intentionally run over turtles crossing the road, says new research.

I’ve looked for it onlne, and have never been able to find it. But this is similar to other research done around 1990 at LSU (I think). In that research scientists placed rubber snakes on the road, and found that people went out of their way to hit them too.
