I am sorry I do not buy that story one bit. Something else must have been going on there. Like someone has said, they cant prove you were not avoiding an animal. It is perfectly legal to hit your brakes for that reason. Make sure to mention that you believed hitting the animal would cause you to swerve and get into an accident. This is why the 2 second distance rule is in place.
