Re: Woman faces life in prison for trying to save baby ducks

Yada, yada, yada, your Lordship.

The following riders/drivers were following too closely and at to high a speed to control their vehicle. If the young woman, my client, had time to stop her vehicle, walk across the road and go ducking; what was, and at what speed, was the following vehicle doing, your Lordship?

Your Lordship, my client is guilty of caring for the least of God's creatures; however, while she is saddened by the deaths of the two cyclists, she is not responsible for their reckless, high speed inattention to changing road conditions. Indeed, your Lordship. What if there had been a moose in the road rather than her stopped automobile? Where would the responsibility lie then and there?

And so on and so forth. Not everything we/you do and encounter is someone else's fault....unless you are a democrat. :smilelol5:

Regardless, we do disagree. And I think, whether you agree or not I believe it to be true, that anyone who went by my slow down to the environment principle, would have likely survived. My opinion. Disagreement welcome. I am done/last post on this topic.
I agree. Something about this smells. Before posted speed limits in some western states, there was the caveat of 'reasonable and proper' speed on the highways. I don't see how she could have come to any screeching halt for which the following vehicle couldn't compensate.....UNLESS he was not paying attention and was not riding at a 'R&P' rate of speed' - maybe on her bumper...and, that's all I have to say about that.

Edit:
Given Canada's repressive gun laws, she would really be in trouble if she'd shot them off their bike ala "EASY RIDER".
