There were 108 collisions in Orange in 2019, slightly down from the 113 the year before, but it's enough to make it one of the hospots across the state.

Dubbo is the city in NSW with the most collisions, with a whopping 236 collisions recorded ahead of Armidale (162), Mudgee (136), Goulburn (132) and Musswellbrook (111).

The NRMA's date showed incidents peaked in winter months - during June, July and August - and that 85 per cent of all collisions involved kangaroos.

NRMA Insurance researcher Chris Emerson warned drivers to keep a lookout for wildlife, particularly with more cars on the road as coronavirus restrictions ease.

"As travel restrictions ease and people are eager to head out of town to see our beautiful state, drivers are reminded to stay alert at all times, take note of any signage about local wildlife and slow down, particularly if driving at dawn and dusk," he said.

"Animals are unpredictable and can appear out of nowhere so it's important to slow down and be aware of your environment especially when you're driving on roads that aren't familiar.

"Colliding with a kangaroo is not only traumatic for the driver and the animal, it also causes considerable damage to cars and can also result in serious injury."

He said tips for avoiding a collison with an animal include taking "extra caution" and not being on the road at dawn, dusk and in darkness.

Drivers are encouraged to reduce the speed of their vehicles inside signposted wildlife areas and in the event of seeing a kangaroo "brake but not swerve to avoid a collision".

"How you react when you see a kangaroo on the road can potentially save lives, so it's important to remain vigilant," he said.

In the event of a collision and if safety permits, drivers should try to move animals off the road and make contact with a veterinarian or the likes of WIRES.
