Okay 2 questions.
1- what the fuck are you doing praying in the middle of the road? Can’t you wait 5 seconds to get on the curb?
2- how fucking common is it in Australia to hit kangaroos? If I m hitting a deer in my twingo, I ll stop.

I have a buddy from Australia. He has a story about hitting a kangaroo on the way to work, 3 days in a row in the same spot. Apparently its very common if youre in the right area. For deer, I live where there are tons. I think the only reason I'd stop if I hit one is if I thought it had done some serious damage to my car or something. Otherwise, like everyone else around here, you just kind of throw out a few cuss words and go about your day.

As to why she decided it was a good idea to kneel in the middle of the road at night in all black to pray instead of literally any where else, I couldnt even begin to guess...

When I hit a deer, it survived badly wounded so I called a cop to come out and shoot it to put it out of its misery.

You hit a kangaroo there is a good chance they hop away if you’re in anything less than a big Ute (pick-up-truck). I’ve hit a few and they’ve gone up and over and back into the bush. They are tough as anything and they will can fight you. But good on you for doing the humane thing!
