Driver who stopped for ducks gets jail, 10-year driving ban
This is a sad story out of Canada.
People should show some common sense when stopping like this to help wildlife.
There was a turtle crossing CR101 a few weeks ago and it was in a spot where you cannot see what is ahead of you because of a rise in the road. So I did not stop. I did watch the road for a while from Doggie Doo Run Run and did see another driver coming from the other direction-- who probably had a better view of the road ahead, stop and pick up the turtle. There was no one behind him, There had been a few cars behind me and I just hoped that the turtle would make it.
I have had to stop before because of people helping ducks cross the road as well as rescuing turtles.
