Family of ducks crossing Perth freeway cause peak-hour pile up
www.abc.net.au
Six cars are caught in a pile-up as a family of ducks attempts to cross busy Kwinana Freeway during the morning peak hour in Perth.

It’s unclear how the ducks got onto the freeway, which is guarded by a concrete barrier.

It is the second day in a row ducks have caused peak hour chaos in the same spot on the freeway.

    This always sparks debate, and I can see why.

    There are a million reasons you might need to stop. That’s why highways are designed with specific speed limits, so you have enough time to see hazards and come to a full stop if necessary. If you’re not prepared to stop unexpectedly, then you are a menace to society.

    But it’s also dangerous to stop. That’s why most places have laws against stopping (or even going too far below the speed limit) unnecessarily. It’s a hazard.

    Neither is an excuse for the other.
