To bad she did not get ran over by a loaded Semi truck - It would help balance the Darwin account..

I was almost killed by a stunned ____ just like that one so my outlook is somewhat educated to her antics.

The wife criticized my driving 60-65 in a 70 zone yesterday. Traffic was very heavy, to the point where going 70-80 was just plain stupid. Less than two miles later when all the passing on the right, swerving through dense traffic, blasting up on traffic in front of you complete idiots, produced the inevitable result, the average speed dropped to 30 MPH in a 70 zone, when Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest reacted to ther own lack of separation strategy.

In Poquoson VDOT has signs warning of duck crossings and people don't like to see them slaughtered by the infinite conga line of MORONS.

I have had them almost plough into me swerving to avoid hitting the car in front of them and watch for that to try to stay out of Moronville.

If you can't stop in the distance between you and the vehicle in front of you, as the bike rider forgot to do then you can die. What if the car in front of them had been in a head on collsiion with no warning?

I think the appropriate thing to do would be to pull off on the right breakdown lane, and wait till traffic clears to get those ducks. I've picked up lots of dogs in 55mph zones this way. But then, i never drive in the left lane!

She stopped for ducks ... not a head on collision .. Ducks .. she killed those people behind her for ducks..
The Courts derision is on this duck situation and not a hypothetical one.

But you weren't killed... because you were paying attention and had left enough time/space to react! (And so was the driver behind you.)

(Not absolving the idiot who stopped.)

So your point is the bike rider would not have to maintain separation unless there is something more serious going on. Please tell me how you expect to determine the point in severity of the on coming situation where the "this is seriously serious" threshold is reached and some alarm goes off to warn you of the impending event.

Terminal disaster anticipation assumes that warning is presenting itself constantly when operating any vehicle. Underestimating stupidity is a recipe for death and injury. There are still 100 people a day dying in the USA, most of whom did nothing "wrong" other than being in the wrong place at the wrong time. They are still corpses.

I have posted this many times before, I could get in a wreck almost any day if I did not keep a large range of situational awareness tuned in constantly. Overly cautious, Paranoid, call it whatever you want and you will almost never be thanked for your vigilance although I have been thanked a few times by those less vigilant, the reward is I'm still here.

I should never have been put in that situation and wouldn't of if the driver had avoided the ducks and not done the unthinkable and stop at hwy speed to protect them ( apparently done in both of the cases)

Stupid People kill people not cars ..
