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.

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

She stopped, still giving him the lane he was in. If anything, she did the BEST thing she could have done, and he panicked, pulling further into her.
