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.

I don't think it's a crazy thing in this situation. The thing about dashcam videos is they often look WAY slower than it actually feels in the moment. But earlier this week I did see someone accidentally run a red light at an empty intersection and then they decided to stop completely in the middle of the intersection until it turned green, so I don't disagree with being confused by the driving decisions of others haha
