Well This sucks.

Driving home from a night out in Civic last night at 2:30am, crusing legally along Yamba Drive in Woden. I pull slowly up the hill, Claudia chugging along at her usual tick-tick-tick pace. Suddenly i see two Kangaroo's - one in each lane (pre-planned?) blocking my path. I knew we were going to hit at least one of them.

I brake - heavily. Claudia skids. I reach for the High Beams and the horn - blasting seems to have woken them up from their zombie like state. Kangaroo in left lane bounds off to side of road. Kangaroo in right lane is a little bit slower......We connect.

Fortunately for us she goes under the front bumper. there is a god-awful thud and my back-seat passenger - mildly intoxicated - starts screaming. I just freeze.

Skippy hasn't gone under the car - and just sort of shakes it off. she bounds off across the other two lanes of road and into the bush. we see her fall. but she gets back up. she's fine.

Claudia, on the other hand, has suffered at the hands of skippy. Total damage bill is a fairly minor $300. i don't think i've stopped shaking.

heres some pictures of the damage - the last picture is my Kidney grille - it shattered in the impact. the headlight still works but the bulb has been shifted - so it aims much higher.

so, i repeat, F*^($&^(#)ing KANGAROOS!

i tell you, kangaroos are waging war on cars and trying totake the roads off us.
good to hear you're intact and damage is relatively minor.

$300 damage... and the kangaroo wont pay a cent!:mad:

last two kangaroo's that ran into me had to be put down with a crowbar and a shotgun, respectively.
if you break their legs in the collision, you'd better not leave them as is.

You know what it is, If you were driving a Australian built car the roo would have moved aside and given you more respect, It see's a overseas car and says he eats me they all eat me.

Your very lucky it didn't come up into the window or bust your radiator shit glad your safe but:)., And what a shame you didn't have one of clutches love machines cause then you could have busted a cap in him.

02-09-2007, 12:38 AM
The Kangaroo bounded away before i could kill her. i totally felt like it, mind.

and the next car - a Falcon taxi, no less - had to swerve to miss the second one. methinks they were related because when the victim bounded right the other one followed him.

believe me, they don't move.

I think the average repair cost is between $3-4k

Back around 2003 my wife and I managed to hit four roos between us in 18 months. Result? Two write-offs and two major repairs :mad:

yeah, the last one i hit was in a white VP commodore in january - thankfully only cracked the front bumper a bit and no damage to the radiator.
Unfortunately it had broken it's legs and was hobbling by the side of the road trying to move :(
We were at a loss as to how to put it out of it's misery - since, you know, i don't carry my lethal injection kit everywhere i go :rolleyes: - until we remembered we had 9 guns packed deep in the boot. i think the most damage done in the whole incident was when the hammer on the little shotgun ripped the seat when david tried to pull it out of the rear seat cubby hole.

When my wife emmigrated over from Europe I made sure to repeatedly impress on her the importance of NOT attempting the instinctual swerve when you encounter a roo on the highway. Thank goodness I did because within a few years she three times struck reasonably big roos at very high speed

Luckily those hits were in solid older and traditional-size local sedans with the bluff front, not small modern compacts with their typically downward-raking bonnet just ready to scoop a roo straight into and through the windshield

IBrake4Rainbows

Glad to hear you (and the roo) are ok. ;)

I've only had 1 experience with one of the bastards. On a trip to Townsville, we're cuirsing along the Bruce Hwy at 100km/h. I look to the right and I see two kangaroos jumping alongside the road. I think, "oh, how pleasant". Then they jump INTO the car!

Don't know how they fared...just found some fur on the front right mudflap. Sounded like a pretty decent hit though.

We have it on our car for no other reason than to stop 'roos on cross country trips, and thankfully haven't had to use it yet. I've heard stories of guys that hit 3 on 1 road, others that make a game of hitting them, removing the pest from the road.

yep "bull bars" over here.
But after a huge growth in people adding them to 4x4s - and no bulls on OUR roads the government took the reasonable steps that they were causing too many deaths and injury on the roads.
So new "people friendly" bars like on the LR were developed.
Still lots of people over here who are anti them.

For us, our previous and current insurance readily acknowledged our damages were caused by random roo strikes (the blood & gore & fur was still embedded in the cars, after all) but both still deemed them as being at-fault collisions. What can you do?

In many areas of Oz roo strikes are no joke a serious problem and it really does disuade people from travelling around especially at night with dawn/dusk the worst times. After four hits we eventually decided to move. The 7 year drought has also tended to draw them out of the parched paddocks and onto the ungrazed road verges in search of food. There are about 20+ million Eastern Grey roos just in NSW alone and they are nocturnal and extremely hard to discern in the headlights. Or if you're really lucky they just bound out of nowhere and slam into the side of your car. One launched out of the unseen and did a $7800 touchdown on the roof of a mate's Landcruiser ute. In most of my wife's encounters she didn't even have time to lift off, let alone brake from 115 .. so just :eek:BOOM:( .. then it all goes quiet and you've lost lights while hopefully rolling to a safe stop as you leave a trail of steam and bits 'n pieces of what's left of your car

:mad:

An elderly neighbour of mine incurred $18k of damage while cruising carefully at only 90km/h one night in her shiny new C-Class

At these levels of impact the less sophisticated trigger settings on early-type airbags can pose their own set of dramas, as you can imagine. You're right to recognise the shift in priorites re selection of vehicle type & design especially the slope-nose issue. Roos have a high COG and many of the time they're airborn even before you hit 'em

I'll never forget the story told by a truckie workmate of mine who was Interstating a Kenworth. One minute he was peering through the night gloom on a 10 hour run, kinda dazed like you get on a long trip, when all of a sudden half the windshield's gone and he's being attacked and scratched and clawed and bitten in the pitch-dark cabin by something! Somehow he managed to keep control and pull up .. it was a ruddy great PELICAN that had flown through the screen :D

02-09-2007, 08:17 AM
Do you guys ever get cases where one would break through the windshield and kick the hell out of the driver or passenger thus killing them? I've heard of it happening twice with within the past 2 or 3 years, and its really rather scary and freaky thinking that you can get your face kicked in by an animal like that.

Maybe a sonic system like ones to keep deer out.The thing is, there's not really much you can do about the roos. Big new highways are fenced in such a way that they can't jump over easily, but they still do regularly, and they've been moving into urban areas more and more. You can buy devices called Roo-Shoos that are high pitched sonic devices to drive them away from your car.

I must get drunk enough for this situation to occur.

Which reminds me. When are we going out for "o" week?

i've never been that drunk........

probably because most of my mates are untrustworthy with money.

Contrary to popular belief Futurama doesn't solve every ailment. thats just an old wives tale. it's actually the little known (and indeed little used) cartoon known as "Happy Tree Friends" that does the trick.

I see your logic and it does indeed have merit.

I follow a very strict code of drinking - always have more or less than 6. 6 is my magic number that i cannot ever stop on. otherwise bad things happen.

Very. very bad things.

Yeah, I obviously drank a lot more than I thought, since I spent way more than I thought I did

My code is try and not throw up, and only try and pick up girls I've talked to whilst sober

I actually enjoy the first 10 or seconds of spewing.

Its confirmation that I'm totally pissed, and it makes me quite happy inside. Ah, good times.

tis a good strategy. also, don't depend on your friends to give worthy verdicts or not. "i'd hit it" is not a good sign.

Well, I spewed last night, but I don't think it was cause I drank to much, but cause I didn't drink enough water. I was on the dancefloor and thinking "Damn I need some water" then it was "God, I'm gonna be sick"

Apparantly at 6 drinks i start to cry :( any more and i overanalyse. I have no recollection of these events of course. but according to my friends one night when i had a few too many i ended up in front of the TV watching Rage at 3:30 in the morning. analysing the film clips.
