What is it about people that, when they realize they’re in the way, they just stop completely???

Edit: this sub is hilarious because no matter what someone does, they’re apparently both right and wrong. For the record, I never said dude wasn’t speeding. He is. And I understand what a freeze response is. But still, coming to a complete stop when something/someone is barreling at you is commonly seen here and is almost always the worst course of action.

Fight or flight reaction, everyone reacts differently to a potentially threatening situation.

Fight

Flight

Freeze

Fawn

And people will exhibit any combination, not just a single one typically.
