But this video brings back a horrible childhood memory of seeing a mother duck take her ducklings across a busy street. You can guess what happened.
The mother guided her babies to safety, right??

RIGHT?????

Yes. It was horrible because he hates ducks.
 
Panama City. I had an awesome Thai meal there the other week near the Marriot Panama City.

Awesome, but lucky, duck. My dog would be scared off by the sound of the traffic.

Ugh, a few years ago I was merging onto the highway from a ramp, and saw a momma goose and her little ones crossing the road. I slowed way down and was pulling to the side (not much time to react). Asshole in an SUV behind me gunned their engine and sped around me to pass.

:-(

I love ducks.

Seriously, who doesn't love ducks?

They're funny and cute and not total fucking assholes like geese.
You speaks the truth, twice.
Seriously, fuck geese, good thing their livers are tasty.
 
That looks like a cormorant, more than a duck. Which would explain why it doesn't want to to fly. I think they would rather swim/walk more than fly if they could help it.
 
Am i the only person who understands that stopping in the middle of traffic for a freaking duck is actually more dangerous than just killing the dumb bird?

You don't want to dirty your tires do you?

I want to find the driver of the white car that actually stopped for it and shake his or her hand.
This could had led to a pileup.. It was actually a pretty dumb move; sorry duckie :(
 
Fucking idiot in the white car could have caused an accident stopping on the goddamn freeway like that.
 
Am I the only one who thought the driver that stopped was being incredibly irresponsible and unsafe? Stopping in the middle of a busy highway is not my idea of a good thing. Yes, it would be tragic to hit the duck, but it would be far worse to cause a major accident. One of my friends used to be a tow truck driver and after all the stories I've heard of him digging cars out a ditch because someone didn't want to run over a small animal or piece of debris, I've learned to just say screw it.

Oh, without a doubt. Despite how glad it made me to see them stop, it's far, far safer to keep going. In their defense, however, traffic did look pretty sparse.

If you're not prepared to stop for an object on a freeway, then YOU are driving unsafe and should be hauled to jail.

If white car driver is able to see a small bird, and stop for it, then any prudent driver should be able to see A BIG WHITE CAR and stop for it.

You've never actually driven on a freeway have you?

Of course I have driven on freeways.

Do YOU have a license? Do you know what the basic speed law is?

There are many reasons you might have to stop on a freeway. Someones engine dies. A couch fell off a truck. Crazy person running around. Sudden traffic jam. An accident.

If you can't stop in time, you're driving too fast for conditions.

You are incorrect. But I recall now this isn't the first time you've argued this false opinion and you didn't listen to the people who were right in the last thread either so I'll just leave you to it.
 
Video was posted on LiveLeak so I automatically thought the duck was going to get run over and destroyed into a pile of gore at the end of the video.

My dad, a cop, patrolled roads for 20-something years. He was always amazed by the number of people he saw that were killed or seriously injured because they were trying to avoid small animals. You don't stop on a freeway for a fucking duck. You run over the fucking duck.

And I like ducks.
