Hmmm. I think most of us would behave differently, depending entirely on the situation.
If I were moseying along on a backcountry road with not another car in sight, of course I would want to stop and give the animals a break. That's a no-brainer. On the other hand, if I were driving the 401 during the rush hour, I would not dare to do such a thing. It's all relative. How heavy was the traffic? How good was the visibility?
From what I've read above, it sounds like there was too much traffic for stopping to be a wise decision - but without seeing the exact situation and knowing the traffic level there, it's hard for me to call it.
