"'With no time to stop the car', she also jumped out of the car, which rolled a little way before she managed to pull up the handbrake."
Cowards,how can you fear a small snake? maybe they parked the car under the tree then the snake fall to their car.In KZN they kill each other with guns not practicing withccraft.

The snake is traumatised too, it is telling other snakes that it fell into one of the 3 human beings by mistake and also panicked like everyone else in the car. It will never go inside those human beings car ever again.

Those are the breaking in the snake land.

haibo its possin\ble for snakes to stay in the bonet, esp when its cold. it gets in when the engine is still warm and you will only see it in the morning. at times it wont come from the dash board but will be from the bonet on to your windscreen, this happens as you are moving on the road because the engine heat will be too much.

the only snake in Africa that I can think of which fits the description is a house snake. Not only do they not bite but they are not venomous. Poor thing was probably trying to escape from the dirty great rats in the garage!

Yotywa/MsKinkya.......- Snakes are cold blooded animals, when the engine is turned off in the afternoon, snakes know that some parts of the engine remain warm for few more hours during cold nights. they then slither inside the engine compartment. When the engine turns cold, they can ease their bodies inside the car, especially under the dashboard.

LERATOLANNA/ SWONA- I do hope you two are not teachers, you write a lot of horse manure, obviously your numbskull and imbecillic comments are meant to offend KZN people. Its people like you I wish could be deported from SA

ja maan, scared of a little worm?
like she says she is glad it didnot all happen on the open road, otherwise we could have had three dead runing away from some non poisonos little worm, we need to educate ourselves a bit about snakes people, especialy black people, about 70% of our snakes if not more, is all non poisenous jumping out of a mooving car in fear of a scared garden snake is not a wise idea, the damn thing was scared to death from the engine sound and all this people suddenly talking very close to it.
