That's my opinion, anyway. Please don't flame me to death!

I agree. If there were someone tailing me, I would not jeopardize their lives for a family of ducks, however, if there was plenty of distance between me and whomever was riding behind me, I would be the one who would stop to let the ducks cross (again, let me emphasize, NOT if I had to do a dangerously hard braking maneuver). So without knowing how closely the biker was following or how fast the car driver put on brakes, I can't really lay the blame either way.
