Yes! Happened to me in a small Honda about 15 years ago in the Flinders ranges. I was driving on a dirt track, encountered a gaggle of them and slowed right down. One of them was silly enough to run into me and damage the door. It ran away and seemed OK. For some reason I had expected them to be smart enough to avoid a collision.

Has there been an increase in the number of roadkill as this news story says? August is already over. They wrote that a 15% increase was expected.

Everyone worries about the wildlife on the roads when you hit the big northwest, and yet, our worst places are down in the southwest. Massive mobs of greys getting fat and breeding. I live surrounded by national park at the north end of the midwest, and our biggest risk area is right in town, big mobs of greys, coming in to feed on lawns and the oval.
