If you read the article (or at least the appeal article) it seems to suggest that she stopped her vehicle to collect and place the animals in her vehicle, on a highway. We're not talking about a residential road here. The animals were not in the middle of the road, they were off to the side. Pretty stupid move on her part.
Granted, I take the QE2 daily and every day I hope that I don't need to stop quickly because man do people tailgate on that road. For reasons I do not know.
My cousin-in-law (is that even a thing?) just killed two people who were trying to scare motorists on a highway. He is totally devastated, but faces no legal charges because there was nothing he could do and the police were already looking for these people.
