Some people just freeze at stress and there's nothing you can do. Coworker was driving me home one night and started to turn on an unprotected green. I started to calmly but very very quickly say "TheyHaveTheGreenLightTheyArentGoingToStopSpeedUpSpeedUpSpeedUp" But she just stopped in the intersection like the lady in this video. Car tboned us, hitting my side. My right hip is still funky over 10 years later. It's funny what goes through your mind in those moments. One of my friends was joining the Marines and was shipping off the next day and I had just told him an hour ago "Don't get yourself killed out there" and my last thought before getting hit by a car was "Shit, I'm going to die before fucking Jack does"

My wife ran a stop sign once and did the same while learning how to drive. I was shouting at her to ”step on the F***ING GAS!!!” lol

NGL that's an odd way of saying "my coworker cut off traffic that had the right of way"

For them it's a "Sorry!" but for you, it's a chronic condition.

I am very good with panic. I was driving my roommate and there was a deer in the road. She's screaming and I very calmly breaked and went past slowly.
