Sstar-Well, if you run into a roo a few things can happen..This all depends on the speed you''re travelling, how the roo hits your car etc etc.

1-Nothing. You're shaken up & the roo hops into the bushes back to the bush
2-A bit of damage to your car-again depending on where the roo hit..and possibly some to you.
2-Death to you & the roo.

Just because they're "cute" doesn't mean they won't hurt you!!! They move freakin FAST and they're BIG!!!!

We often see roos while mtn biking. I've had a few zoom accross my path at night on the trail Even during the day @ one of our fave mtn biking spots, they're in the bushes one moment and the next there's just a bunch of pea gravel dust.

Other times on the trail they just stare at you!

I guess your roo woes are much like our deer woes here. They're fast and sneaky critters- and they'll be out in the road before you know they're there. I've never hit one, but have come pretty close (one lept a tall fence and went over my hood as I'm driving along on the highway ).
Funny to hear roo tales- just different creatures in different parts of the world that we're all dealing with.
