I'd probably slow down for them, but if someone was on a motorcycle right behind me I don't think I'd come to a complete stop. That's how you get rear-ended, or in this case kill motorcyclists.
Slightly related,
I destroyed a squirrel yesterday by accident. It was crossing the street and I started to slow down for it, but not too much since it had almost reached the edge of the road. Yet, right as I approached, it decided that the proper reaction was to run the opposite direction to try to get to the side of the road it had come from, and stick its head underneath one of my front wheels. I live in a rural area, though, that squirrel had plenty of free time to cross when there weren't any cars driving by at all.
they should've at least pulled over to the side of the road and then made sure it was clear before trying to save the ducks
Should have flattened the ducks and kept going. They're ducks, they'll get over it. Or be eaten by a fox mere days later.
Should have been the other way around.
Ducks die, People survive.
Saw this on the news. With a nice interview with the woman whose husband and daughter died from the accident.

Every fucking living thing deserves a life. A human is no better than a dog. Taking a life is taking a life. That's why I despise hunting for sport. Us eating animals is natural, killing them for fun is not. Enough derailing, lets get back on the topic.
It is always the person behind the stopped car who is at fault. Either they were following too close or they were going too fast and weren't paying attention to the road. I have no sympathy for them.

Yeah, the 16 year old girl who died totally deserved it, right?

Well, to me, a human life is actually worth more than a duck`s life. Besides humans are just highly developed herbivore animals so I don`t see what`s wrong with killing other animals because other herbivores do it too.

Uh, what?
If I was forced between killing 1 million ducks and killing one human, I'd choose the ducks every time.

You dont get my point. You were forced to. Just running killing 1 million ducks for the hell of it isnt right.

That's really stupid. Way to lower a ducks population by 1 million when a instead of 1 human baby is born every 3 seconds.
There's enough people in the world.
(rate me heart because i don't got one)
Its sad :( I take the same road everyday to go to work
Fucking old hag :( Gtfo of the road if you cant handle Highway....

dick move sir
[QUOTE=Emz;23079255]You're meant to drive with a large enough gap so that you have time to react if the car in front of you does something unpredictable. It is a reason why you have to learn the emergency stop.
I am not saying it is their fault I am just wondering aloud why they were not able to react in time? This is awful to hear though like dutchah said "when good intentions go wrong." :smith:[/QUOTE]
Either the motorcycle driver was distracted or he didn't have a safety gap between him and the car in front of him. If it's the latter case, then the front driver is innocent.
Actually, come to think about it, in our country the law is that the driver in the back is almost always guilty. Still, this fucking sucks
[QUOTE=imawerewol;23084518]Yeah, the 16 year old girl who died totally deserved it, right?[/QUOTE]
Collateral damage. No one deserved it; it was a mistake on the part of her father.
Glad to see natural selection still works nicely. Solution: Don't drive at all if you don't have the common sense to realize the person in front of you could emergency break at any moment.

A small shrine of truth stands out of your dickness
ITT: Idiots blaming the driver for stopping when they should clearly be looking into why the motorcycle was unable to stop safely ( either too close in front or driving too fast )
Just my opinion but every living thing deserves a life its not who deserve's it more because it my mind we all live on this planet so we all have a right to live, the problem is choice.
Glad they saved the ducks.

[QUOTE=Jallen;23079300]My question is, how fast must the biker have been travelling to not have time to stop?
I mean, the car surely didn't just come to an instant stop? It sounds like it was stopped and the biker came round a corner or something...
IMO it seems like the biker was too fast or too close.[/QUOTE]
Lol have you ever changed your avatar ?
[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;23079205]So it's forbidden to immobilize your vehicle in the middle of a road? So you're telling me if you see a dog in the middle of the road you can't stop, just run him over? That's a bit of a dick move.[/QUOTE]
If you see an animal or some other obstruction on the road you're supposed to bring your vehicle to a stop on the shoulder.
I can see someone making dangerous evasive manoeuvres to avoid a dog since they're fast (and rightly so, hitting a dog could make you lose control of your vehicle worsening the situation), but a line of ducks isn't going to just pop out in front of you.
Don't fucking tailgate.

That's exactly what I'm telling you. So you'd rather kill the family behind you? :downs:
Avoid the whole situation, don't let old ladies drive.
what i'm wondering is how they had no time to react, were they just that close to the car or were they just going too fast to notice a car that's stopped in the middle of a road.

Difference is a human is sentient, a dog is not. Dogs survive, humans innovate and create.
Don't get me wrong, I fucking love dogs but humans are worth so much more.
Oh here the fuck we go again, someone mentions animals and Facepunch gets in a fit of which life is worth more.
