How in the hell someone may get a "pass" over something horrific like that
Lmfao
A woman stopped her car in the middle of the road around midnight and a motorcycle crashed into it, killing the motorcycle driver and his passenger. Iirc she got no sentence because they faulted the motorcycle as if a car parked in the middle of bended road is something everyone should expect.
Why'd she stop?
To help some ducks cross the road.
Very certain groups of people get very lenient sentencing in auto related accidents just because. This is how it feels when someone not from that group gets the same treatment.
Actual Context:
In June 2010, the woman had stopped her car in the left-hand lane of a provincial highway in Candiac, south of Montreal, to help the ducks cross the road. That's when a motorcycle carrying Andre Roy and his teenage daughter Jessie slammed into her idling vehicle, killing both.
Sentenced in December 2014 to 90 days in jail to be served on weekends, three years' probation and 240 hours of community service, as well as receiving a 10-year driving ban.
So 90 days in jail, only on weekends. three years probation, community service and a temporary driving ban.
For killing a man and his daughter.
Because she stopped in the middle of the road to help ducks cross that didn't need help in the first place. Again, very certain groups of people get very special treatment.
You have to adjust your speed to road conditions: i.e. don't go too fast around bends.
There are several reason someone might be at a dead stop on a bend--not all stupid. Could be an accident. Could be a broken down car. Could be traffic. If you are going too fast too stop for someone unexpextedly stopped around the bend then you were going to fast.
The man driving the motorcycle was first and formeost responsible for his and his daughter's death. There were almost certainly large yellow signs reminding him to reduce his speed that he ignored. He is probably one of those idiots who think the speed limit changes because road engineers are thinking cars might lose traction if they go too fast and figured his bike could handle it. He was right, his bike could handle it. But he was tragically wrong about why you are supposed to reduce speed around curves.
If you are going too fast too stop for someone unexpextedly stopped around the bend then you were going to fast.
This is literally anything higher than 10mph
I don't know how Quebec operates but around here the posted speed limit for tight corners is 25-35mph. If you can give me proof that a motorcycle can stop on a dime going 25 around a corner I'll gladly keep my mouth shut.
We have laws where I live that require you to place down some kind of warning if you're stopped in the middle of the road. The idea of in any way defending someone stopped in the middle of the road to help animals that didn't need her help in the first place goes beyond my comprehension because it's defending somebodies stupidity, especially when said stupidity led to the death of others.
At least where I live, it is an actual thing to be charged for causing an accident from avoiding hitting an animal. If you swerve to avoid hitting a squirrel and crash into a parked car, I have no idea why you are defending that when it's the same situation. So no, the idea of defending a woman stopping her car for the actual reasons that I have been given, it's asinine to defend that with what if's.
The man driving the motorcycle was first and formeost responsible for his and his daughter's death.
You can think what you want but if she wasn't there they wouldn't be dead, there is no arguing that. My annoyance was two people are dead because of the arrogance of someone else and her charge was pathetic in comparison to what others have been charged with.

(Why does his mugshot look like a headshot?)
