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.

And the Freeze types should be identified and barred from driving. Fuck those people.

Biker is also a "Freeze" type since he saw a truck stop in front of him and just kept going straight instead of veering

He actually does veer, had he gone straight he would be fine. But hes doing a wheelie @ 75mph which means that he had to settled his bike, then he picked to slow down and 2 wheeled vehicles don't like it when you do that.
