Progress past the donkey and then do a 180.

Oh look! Some bastards have just run over a donkey! Couldn't have been us, but let's go back and film its corpse! Google earth? More like (used) Fuller's earth...

If you point at the ground where the dead donkey is, you get to see it stuck halfway in limbo between living and dead.

Donkeys roll in the dust just like horses. The car passes the donkey and the donkey then has a roll in the dust

It seems to just be laying in the dust the further you pull away no movement - just pretty much dead - Poor Donkey :frown:

If you watch the street view. And scroll to the side you can clearly see that the car has passed the donkey, you can even see its footprints to the road

yes, if you get to the scroll where the donkey just disappears from view, and then turn to the right, you can see the donkey walking away down a side road.

The donkey isn't really there.

It's part of your imagination, tricking you into thinking a donkey died.

Blame Tesco's. It's to take the heat off their horseburgers.

Now who was it asking about how hard people have to work out here????

Work hard, play hard. Get up out of the dust faster so we don't all shed a tear for donkeys playing dead by the side of the road.

So, in the OP we were moving AWAY from the donkey, not towards, explains everything.
