Not everyone gets into a car and bolts until they get to their final destination.
Some people actually stop and look at things, and even...shock... sleep in a motel !!

I hit several galah's on trip to Adelaide a few years back. One hit my side mirror at 100 and pushed he mirror into the driver side window and the motor and mirror came out. Had to get a new mirror at nearly $200. I hope the bastard died a painful death.
