Why do people stop dead in their tracks when they see a car coming?

Question:
I don't know why people do this. I'll be driving up to a stop light or stop sign and whoever is crossing the street and sees me all of a sudden stops dead in their tracks. If I kept coming, they'll get knocked 50 feet, whereas if they speed up, they'll be out of the way.

What's the price range for frontal airbags?

I think part of it is an attempt to deduce the direction you're going so we'll know which way to jump. If you're going behind me, I can move ahead, if you're going in front of me, I can jump back. That's for someone coming from a distance. If you're at a light or stopsign and I'm walking in the crosswalk and you edge over the line, I might stop and look at you. But driving up, it's instinct.

should NH seat belt law be changed?

I think it's an instinctual thing, like a deer in the headlights or a housecat waiting for a car to come before crossing the road. Why do people pace you in your blind spot? Why do people getting on a highway not speed up to highway speeds while they're on the on ramp? I wish we had a driving test like Germany, no speed limits but you better come correct. I wouldn't even mind if I didn't pass, as long as it would keep the mouth breathers off the roads. If I didn't pass I'd say to myself, "I guess I didn't come correct. Next time I will try not to be such a mouth breather."
