One time I took a late night (it started in the day) cross country trip someone else going the same way said "wow did you see all those emus? there must have been thousands"
Nope, didn't see a single one. I guess normal car headlights just don't pick them out on the side of the road or further off like a tricked out 4x4 with floodlights does.
Probably pure luck I haven't hit anything so far.
