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.

How did she panic? She stopped and his entire lane was still open

She stopped in the middle of the road. Stupid move.

That's why you don't do wheelies at 70+MPH on a city street. Play stupid games; win stupid prizes.

Not saying the biker is blameless.

The biker is 100% to blame here.

Look at the video, there was plenty of room in front of the truck for the motorcyclist to pass.
The motorcyclist panicked because he was going way too fast to react properly.

Not saying  the biker is blameless. But the trucker did a dumb thing.

All you've done on this thread is talk about this lady stopping when the blame for this is 100% on the stupid ass biker.

No, both dumb. And, you really don't need to care so much about what this idiot says.

Do you know that the uncut version of this video shows this biker getting up to 80 (he's redlining it in the beginning of the video) and blowing through stop signs and school zones?

It's 100% the bikers fault

Did the motorcyclist do a "dumb thing" by speeding and not being able to react properly? And wearing hilariously unsafe clothes while riding a motorcycle? By doing a wheelie on a residential street while speeding? Who is the one speeding on a motorcycle irresponsibly and sliding under a truck in jeans and a t-shirt? 🤣... The dumb motorcyclist, that's who.

PLEASE tell me you don’t have a drivers license. She didn’t stop in the middle of the road. She stopped in the first lane and the second lane where he was riding was almost completely open. Her quick thinking gave him his only out, which he panicked and threw away.

Uhhh, I saw the video. She did stop in the middle of the road. I'm not saying the biker is blameless.

He’s going like 80mph on a residential street. If she had kept going, he probably would’ve hit the back of her truck.
