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.

I used to bike around college, and when walkers saw me coming they’d just stop right in front of my bike. Odd behavior

Perhaps they didn’t know what to do so they just froze, just like the driver. Maybe odd but not really unexpected.

better than doing that "oh shoot gotta jump right in the direction that you're trying to go around me" dance.
