Speaking of consideration, doesn't Florida law require motorists to stop at the scene of an accident that has just occurred when no emergency vehicles have arrived yet? It certainly did in the state from which we relocated. I hope the victim was not injured severely.
I was in the opposite lane(s) going north on Morse...they folks were in the south lanes. I had traffic behind me etc so it seemed to be more prudent not to stop and impede. "IF" I'd been going the other way, then I'd have to say "yes" to stopping!!
