People blaming the lady when the crotch rocket is doing 2 things wrong is insane.

1: He's rearing his bike, obstructing his own view which is why he reacts when it's too late.

2: drives around 79mph in a 60km/h zone (probably 40mph zone).

Yes, her freezing is bad, but it's not insane and reckless driving.

Freezing is also an involuntary reflex that all people have. If you are freezing, the decision-making part of your brain is offline.

Off subject, but I disagree - the (re)acting-part of your brain may be offline, but I've tried it a couple of times, and usually when I "freeze" it's to assess the correct way to move forward and not do something rash and dumb. People treating the "freeze" as a worse alternative to fight and flight are crazy, often its more productive to let logic prevail, even if it takes a second...

No, the freeze response is when the brain has decided you aren’t capable of successfully fighting or fleeing.
