Gruesome images that pop up with the harsh reality of life for outback truckers

Confringing dashcam of a truck driver who touches two baby kangaroos in broad daylight has caused a fierce debate about high -speed meetings.

The clip was broadcast for the first time Channel seven Program Outback Truckers Five years ago, Sthaul -driver Kylie Hornick showed behind the wheel of a road train under the supervision of an instructor.

A kangaroo and two Joeys suddenly came up directly on her path.

“Keep the right, keep it right,” the instructor said repeatedly while the adult kangaroo for scary escaped the fast -moving truck.

A loud thud was heard when the two Joeys disappeared under the hood of the truck.

“Yuck!” Mrs. Hornick said.

‘I hate that noise, but I’m not going to endanger the oncoming traffic [and] Our life for one kangaroo. ‘

The clip came up again this week and was again posted by Macquarie Driving School, an NSW-based training company with heavy vehicles that trains and increases the awareness of the dangers of collisions for animals in the wild.

The dashcam images told the adult kangaroo and avoided the oncoming truck and two Joeys were not so lucky

The trainee truck driver (photo) was heard and said: ‘I hate that sound’ after two Joeys seemed to disappear under the hood of the vehicle

‘Imagine: with a heavy truck at high speed you drive on a busy highway. Suddenly two baby kangaroos jump on the road, “the company endorsed the images.

The school advised that Swering or breaking suddenly would only endanger road users while staying on the race ‘Heartbreaking, but it might be the safest option’.

“It doesn’t matter which animal bengot, never wasted to avoid, and you won’t touch the break for that speed,” wrote a YouTube viewer.

This may have been particularly dangerous, since a Ute drove with a quick speed in the opposite direction in the adjacent lane.

“Such situations are part of the work,” the school wrote.

While many viewers – including a number of truck drivers – agreed that the trainee had done the right thing, some accused her of reckless driving.

“If you delay, you will not endanger anyone,” they noted.

Another described the incident as ‘just terrible’, and claimed that she should have delayed.

One man caused a certain excitement when he wrote: “Pro -tip – if you get your big hoof from the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will actually slow down.”

A woman replied: ‘Ever driven a large harness? With such a remark it is a strong no! “While someone else said:” Dow delayed DowAfter Road Train with about 20m warning … Good luck. ‘

Kangaroos are good for the vast majority of the collisions of animals throughout the country throughout the country.

Approximately 12,880 claims for animal inflock insurance were submitted to NRMA in 2023, of which 85 percent of which was Kangaroos.

Animal welfare group Thread Advises motorists to stop and check the well -being of wounded animals if it is safe to do this after a collision.

“If the animal is alive and injured, you will confess or your local natural rescue service,” said campaign leader Kristie Newton

“If the animal has died as a result of road trauma – especially if it is a kangaroo – check if it is a woman and whether there is a Joey (s) in her pocket or around her.”

The re -raised dashcam from five years ago revived the debate this week
