She may have a case for appeal anyway. Because although she (technically) committed a misdemeanour by stopping her car in the passing lane, the approaching motorists, including the two bikers who sadly, lost their lives, were responsible for slowing their vehicles to a controllable speed, as a road hazard was ahead! Unless, of course, their view of the road ahead was impaired by a sudden bend or something. All motorists have a duty to drive according to road conditions, not necessarily just at the speed limit, and have a duty to control their vehicles.
It strikes me she is guilty of a lesser driving fault (legally speaking) I think as the charges stand, the case should be thrown out of court.
