Look out Skippy!

Something you might not see very often in the UK...

Or...

Why I have a bullbar!

Notice the drop in speed from the beginning to the end of the video fortunately I saw it coming.




(If you plug the GPS coordinates into Google maps you can find out where it happened or you might not bother)

Re: Look out Skippy!

No I can’t say that I have noticed many kangaroos crossing our roads . But we do have deer and badgers .

Re: Look out Skippy!

I wouldn't even brake for a deer, venison is a favourite and deer are a registered pest.

Wombats are the nearest we get to a badger and I would definitely brake for them otherwise it is like hitting a rock

Re: Look out Skippy!

Bullbars are banned over here now, but I can see why you need them over there.

Good reactions chap. Well done for missing it.

Re: Look out Skippy!

I try to brake for any creature crossing the road. I'm not always successful of course but I try my best.

Re: Look out Skippy!

I keep seeing poor dead badgers on the road

Re: Look out Skippy!

Me too, I once knocked a cat over and I was devastated, it ran off so I didn't kill it but I often wonder ifvit ran off and died as it went with a right bang.

I always feel really sad when I see squashed anythings in the road. Braking comes automatic when things run in the road,

Re: Look out Skippy!

I hate seeing squashed animals in the road. I remember a particular trip to Scotland where there was a dead rabbit about every square yard. I had to get out of the car and finish one poor rabbit off to put him out of his misery.
