They are extremely unpredictable in their change in direction and they will often get panicked by the sound of the car and jump in front rather than away from the car like most other animals.
Unpredictable motion is ideal for evading upright preditors with spears, but no so good for collision avoidance with fast moving metal objects.
So, when kangaroo jumps in front of your car your best chance to avoid hit would be to try to steer your car towards it and let kangaroo's instinct do the rest? :)
