Luckily, we didn't see a single one.
God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Re: EWT Roadkill Project
Maybe not that much speeding seen...rather too many vehicles! 
You could not stop suddenly for fear of someone hitting you from behind. Swerving also tricky if another car was coming from the front!

Re: EWT Roadkill Project
The same here. We have seen plenty road kill in kruger. Sometimes when i had to brake for a sighting i tried to go left and half off the road so that the guy behind me will hopefully miss me
I named them "ass flies" sorry for the word but they will sit behind you as if they are trying to save fuel and sit in your slip stream

Re: EWT Roadkill Project
Normally there is liquid coming from the mouth/nose and anus, sometimes, if it's roadkill?
No wounds or blood, as one would see from a kill kill....but sounds like roadkill!
