I think that's right. We're not talking about a road in front of somebody's house, we're talking about a major highway. Stopping a car without pulling over to the side is just about guaranteed to cause an accident, which is why they are laws against it, and why the driver evidently may be charged with criminal negligence. I do not know the likelihood of that happening, the article only mentions it as a possibility.

On a separate but related note, if we are riding our motorcycles and do encounter small animals in the road, please don't risk your own safety by taking unnecessary risks with evasive actions. If you can safely slow or swerve, of course, but it's never worth crashing a bike by trying to avoid something that wouldn't have upset the bike in the first place. The rule I've always been told is that if you can eat it in one sitting, don't even swerve. If it would take a couple meals, then consider avoiding it as necessary.
