Why don't they fly AWAY from your car? You see them on the side of the road and as you approach, instead of flying away from you, they fly right in front of you! Do they just like living on the edge?!

Many birds cannot rise fast enough to evade an oncoming car unless they fly directly ahead of the car, using the air current it pushes to provide extra lift. If you brake too abruptly for a bird flying straight ahead of you, you may take away the push he needs and send him crashing into your windshield. Lift your foot off the gas and slow down gently, gradually, until the bird rises above your car or peels away to one side.

I think they are trying to get away from you by flying forward, which unfortunately is directly in front of your car. Some animals apparently don't have a good sense of timing.

The birds want to have a closer look at you, because they are so friendly.
Plus the reflection of the glass confuses them.

I suppose it's because birds have smaller brains. Or they get attracted to something which is moving and making winds as you pass by!
