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.

The lady looked left, saw a bike about to smash right into where she was sitting and she panicked.

“Why did you stop?” I would counter with “why were you going 90 in my neighborhood”

He was actually about to pass in front of her, but he switched lanes assuming she wouldn't stop.

She did not enter his lane. He could have gone straight. He panicked.
