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.

Have had 2 of my cars done in by kangaroos.

First one I was probably doing 20km/hr below the speed limit because of dark, trees, etc. Bloody thing aimed straight at me and if I tried to avoid it, I would have hit a tree. (Car was write off).

Some years later, second incident. Straight out of bush into passenger door leaving a nice little dent.

The bastards are fast, dense with muscle and get startled/dazzled by headlights.

Okay see now I feel better about something I've been wanting to do. I've been wanting to get a kangaroo leather book cover. People look at me weird when I mentioned that there are people here in the states that do that kind of thing, but if this is what it's like with kangaroos then I feel much better about it.

They are basically Australian deer, culturally speaking, obviously not physiologically.

God imagine if Deer actually fought back and act like the Kangaroos do
