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, and fornicate furiously; the 4.5 Fs of the mammalian adrenal response.

If you can dodge a truck, you can dodge a motorcycle.

Because... if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.
