This is one of these discussions which will have differed opinions based on personal experience, i have never owned one, and after reading the test i wouldnt buy one, then again i am a science teacher and in my opinion scientific research wins. Then again, if you have one fitted and it works for you, the all the better. Its one of these things which cant realy be proven, i wouldnt mind finding out what product testing was carried out during development of the product. Matt

not everything is provable with science per see.
science can only offer a conclusive result when all possible criteria are available, only one miniscule peice of the picture has to be missing for science to deliver a false result.
we see the mistakes every day.
Yep E equals M C cubed.... I keep telling them but, NO Einstein was right they say....
Bastards... :twisted:
I still like the idea of having a huge truck with a bullbar, you dont even feel them [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]
No youre talking Discotdi, thats money well spent. A good set of driving lights and a good quality bull bar is the best protection from roos. MattQuote:

Driving through areas thick with roos you tend to see plenty siting just of the side of the road.
Whilst they are sitting there it's no problem, when they get on the move thats
It seems to me that when they take off in a mob they usually seem to head in the same direction, meaning some cross the road to join the scared mob.
Seems like letting them know you are coming is the wrong move.
They are not smart enough to avoid the road when they are scared.
Just my observations anyway.
Cheers
I would agree with you 4bd1, I see people hink horns etc, thats the totally wrong way to go about it, roos are fine, as you say, when they are sitting on the side of the road, you generally skoot past them with out a problem. When they are close enough to the edge of the road to be startled by lights or by the noise of the approaching car the place they tend to jump is out in front of you, for some unkown reason. If you keep youre speed down and have good lights you shouldnt have a problem with roo strikes. MattQuote:
