How to avoid hitting kangaroos in the outback
QUESTION
Hi John,
I drive from Rockhampton to Middlemount (QLD) twice a week - it’s essentially rural highway that is all bitumen.
I currently have a Kia Cerato 2020 which I'm looking at upgrading; I've fallen in love with the Kia range.
However, I'm unsure whether it is safe enough for rural highway driving and how it will go if I hit a kangaroo as you can't really put a bull bar on it.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Michaela
