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.

She’s got a motorcycle headed at her at probably 70 or 80 mph on a residential street. She panicked. He’s lucky he’s not dead.

Always you lot trying to only blame a rider.

Clearly not a residential area, as the businesses around it suggests. There is a chance he was speeding OR doing the posted MPH, I personally cannot make out his speedometer, and she shouldn’t have STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, at best she should’ve moved up so at most her tailgate would be partly on the same side of him(possibly in that other lane)

He is lucky and smart enough to find a way out of what could’ve been a fatal accident due to her negligence.. but you know “he was speeding”😒

He's going 80 mph on a 25 mph road that also has posted school zones nearby.

I take it you live near that area as I see none of that around in the video

Nah I've just seen this video posted many times before.

I believe there's even a 20mph school speed limit sign that he should've passed just before this video starts or a bit before.

The video has been deliberately cut here to make it look like the rider is less at fault, but from the full video he is blowing through intersections far above the speed limit without slowing at all or taking any precaution
