I once (stupidly) drove through (unfamiliar) country Victoria to catch a morning flight at Tullamarine. I was about 3 hours drive away so I started at 3 am.

By 4am I was driving 60-70km/hr along a single carriageway when suddenly my car was flanked on either side by a mob of a dozen roos matching my speed pushing me to the center of the road. If my window was open I could have easily stroked the head of the nearest one.

I knew they couldn't keep up for long so I just tried to match their speed before they eventually started to slow and peel off, at which point I took off in front.

Was probably a couple of minutes but felt like half an hour.

Had a car been coming in the other direction we'd probably all be dead.

Moral of the story; Get a hotel.
