[QUOTE="Ded Driver, post: 544189, member: 12692"] the thing is Zyka, you dont know how many you didnt hit even having the whistles. They dont guarantee to prevent every roo strike. Ive had a set of the good die-cast ones on my roo bar for 6 years now, & I do a lot of driving in high density roo areas, & where I would run over 3-4/yr, since having the whistles I have hit 2 in 2 separate years in that 6 year period. I do notice a fair few sitting off the side watching me coming but they seem intent on listening & often dont even move as I go past. Note, in the region I mostly travel the roos are small - medium build. When in areas where I know there are big Western greys, or Big Reds (N/West) I drive slower with more diligence & avoid hitting them whether I had whistles or not. Conclusion: the whistles arent expensive, & could save you your insurance excess, or a big outlay if you're not insured. I believe they work in most circumstances, but the roos I ran over couldnt talk to tell me if they heard them or not :skull: :playful: [/QUOTE]
