Just sometimes, you find yourself driving in a less well maintained neighborhood, with stray dogs running across the street.
some of them are maintained by local inhabitants or bums; so with food they might be a little more energetic than the real stray ones.
When you find yourself in 'their' territory, you will find them running towards you, barking, running in front of your wheels and crazy ass sh!t like that. If that happens, don't accelerate, but slow down!!
If you accelerate, and one gets under the wheels, the pack may attack you, thinking you attacked it first!
Most of the times, even if they are big dogs, they are just curious, and especially if they've never been tied up, or punished in such way, they tend to exert their curiosity quite exuberant; making you feel uncomfortable as you drive by.
Slow down to a speed somehwere between 15-20MPH.
Also HORN!!!
Long and loud! Keep horning to attract people's attention; and to cause an annoying sound for the dog's ears.
Dogs are more sensitive to sound, so if you can rev your motor at the same time, they usually go away.
Drive in one straight line, try avoiding to look scared.
Throw a remark at the dog (or the last dog of the pack still hunting you), to show your authority, and to tell it to shut up, or go away, while you continue on your journey!
Dogs don't get intimidated easily, but it should help you overcome your own fear, giving a good yell at the beast; and a laugh afterwards.
Barking dogs usually won't bite.
