Pigs on the road aren't such a problem down here. It's the Kangaroos you have to watch out for. at night a whole mob of them can bounce accross in front of you. They are dumber than sheep too, once one goes a bunch or them will follow.
Some of them can be pretty big too. A large red male can be 6'6" standing on its hind legs and 120KG or more.
Kangaroos have been in plaque proportions on our roads lately. I think the only people happy about it are the panel shops.
The other varmints to watch out for on Aussie roads are the Wombats. These little fellas can weigh 40KG+ and are low to the ground and very solid. It's not uncommon to destroy the sump on your motor if you hit one of these.
Ferral Pigs are very smart, smarter than dogs some would say. A friend of mine Bow hunts regularly and he has a lot of tales of hunting them. he has learned a lot of respect for the wild pig.
Cheers
