How can roadkill be perfectly safe to eat?

The only time that roadkill may be perfectly acceptable to eat would be when you had just hit it. Now running over it and tearing up its flesh with your tires is not the definition of, "fresh roadkill". Hitting a deer or other animal with just the hood, and removing the bruised tissue may be fine. But on the oither hand it is best not to eat anything off of the road at all....
