Today, while on a road trip through Australia with my dad, we were both complaining that we had yet to see any kangaroos. Suddenly, we saw one up real close. The rental car saw it even closer. FML

Kangaroos hate tourists.

Perhaps you should check your eyesight. Apparently you didn't see where you were driving either.

That's why most cars in Australia have those metal bar bumpers on the front.

Even then they still do nothing often the kangaroo will be mid hop and go into the windscreen

Bullbars are handy, but if they go over or under the car it'll end pretty badly. My mum's car got pretty munted a few months ago cause the roo slid over and ended up going underneath the car, snapped the bolt holding the radiator housing, wrecked the coolant lines and some other things as well.

Touching it is not a smart thing to do if it's still alive it can kick you once and disembowel you

Kangaroos are always jumping out of nowhere into cars, more often at night. 6 months ago my family were returning home from a trip interstate (20 hour drive, yay!) and 4 hours from home a Roo jumped out and literally got stuck in the front of our car. Screwed our radiator and we were forced to stay the night in the closest town (after getting a tow). They are really beautiful animals but most you think have a death sentence. It's not uncommon to hit one at all, regardless of driving experience and attention.
