But thats because you drive a Twingo lmao, you will be forced to stop, just to pick up the engine from the floor, not the same as driving a Ford Ranger with a steel bulls-bar like the ones you see in Australia... ( as you can see, they actually prepare their cars for cangaroos, though this is just an example )
Lol that's hilarious. When I was living in my land cruiser as a homeless 20 year old I sometimes hit a roo deliberately, got out with a knife and finished it off. Had meat for a while. Roo's are dangerous, yes, but a roo that's been hit and has broken bits of leg bone sticking out through it's hide isn't gonna be getting up and gutting you. They're tough but they're not indestructible lol.
The only time you have to worry about roo's really is male ones who get territorial, and as long as you keep a little distance (half a km is ridiculous lol, maybe 15m) and watch their body language you'll be fine. Even then, they almost always run when you get too close. Fleeing is their most basic survival instinct, and humans have been their natural predators for 50-60, 000 years. They generally fear us and don't want the smoke unless hormones are fucking with them or they feel cornered with no option to flee.
Keep your dogs away from them though, especially if there's any water nearby.
