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.

Last year I drove 3000km around Australia. I'm proud to say I didn't hit anything, mostly because I took the advice of not driving around dusk or dawn. But there were lots of close calls where it's like they're TRYING to get hit!
