The officer, Glenn Eppler, pulls over to block the ducks from danger and, along with a good-samaritan who jumps in to help, guides the ten ducklings out of harm's way.

3. years ago, I was in a small community downriver from detroit, where ducks ALWAYS had the right of
way. always amused me to watch a line of traffic waiting patiently as ducks strolled across the roads, even though they could have stayed out of harm's way in the waterways.

4. Ducks rule our neighborhood...
we are on a small creek which leads out to the St. Johns river, and they are everywhere. Canadian geese in particular, but all other kinds as well. They used to just stop on their way migrating but now they stay for the lulz. When we let the dogs out in the morning that's what gets them out the door, the thrill of fresh duck gack. :P
