    Because I would and I need to know that I'm not alone.

    I would be startled, but I actually manage to be a calmer person when I am driving than I usually am, so I would probably not scream.

    Would I scream and freak out? Probably not. Would I be swatting that thing away and be terrified just the same, and probably pull over to make sure it's dead? Absolutely.

    I'd wonder what had gone so wrong in my life that I'd ended up living somewhere with spiders that size.

    It's called moving to Australia if I'm not mistaken.

    Not unless it burst open and released a swarm of mini spiders wearing clown suits. Maybe not even then. I can't actually remember ever screaming.

    no. I wouldn't be stoked but I would try my best to not kill it while getting it off me and out of the car.

    I'd be startled initially and most likely yell out in surprise but as long as it didnt skitter around quickly onto my actual skin (I usually wear long trousers and a jacket) I think I'd be able to calm down after a few seconds, pull over and shake it off. If it crawls into my clothes I might panic more.

    Depends on how big it is. If it's no larger than one of my fingernails, nope.

    If a spider fell on my lap I would resign myself to death. Everybody's luck runs out eventually. I'd just be thankful it wasn't a drop bear.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    This has happened before and I swatted and jumped and wiggled the car a little.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    That is a huntsman spider and they are the worst. They like to hang around in cars sometimes. It does happen and if one fell on me I'd be freaked and I don't know what I'd do at all. I would probably scream a bit but pull myself together until I got to the nearest pull over place and then I'd freak out fully.

    Also, it's probably not going to drop onto you like that, there's a higher chance it's going to climb up the back of your chair and onto your shoulder, or crawl across you in some other way.
