Just look at that. This truck is taller than a used kid (10 years old). I assume the truck can run over pretty much any other age but probably the driver might be able to see older kid’s heads. Or we could teach our kids to jump to school rather than walk. If you see a truck, jump and make eye contact before jumping while crossing the street. Or we could tell our kids to never go outside until they are 21.

    I live in Canberra, Australia. Eastern grey kangaroos are the car killers here. The main road connecting my cluster of suburbs and the city centre is 20km of 100km/h limit through bushland. I have stopped for kangaroos on it.

    The people I know who hit kangaroos were driving fast without regard for them. I have heard that deer enter the road with less warning than 'roos, but surely you can recognise dangerous places and times of day?
