A snake in the middle of the road....

Well we usually ride in the country/mountains so we are pretty used to seeing cows, pigs, snakes, etc in the road. Any of you ever ran over a snake in the road? We had a rider in our group today that saw a snake in the middle of the road and "instictively" crossed the yellow line to avoid it. No cars were coming but I honesty don't think she took the time to look. When we all stopped we spent some time talking to her about the incident and that snakes in the road will be an occasional occurrence and that she would somehow need to prepare herself for that. While not new to riding it was her first outing in the country as she lives/rides in the city normally.
