It is dangerous to drive in many parts of Australia, particularly the outback (but it can also apply to national freeways/highways) around dawn and dusk, as native animals are most active at that time. Hitting a large Kangaroo can cause massive vehicle damage and risk the lives of occupants. Wombats on the highway between Sydney and Canberra can flip a car over if he is at speed.

It may be helpful to provide alerts when planning the drive that part of the drive is potentially in a dangerous time for native animal activity and to reconsider plans.
