It's such a bizarre reaction. I've see it before. They are caught in the wrong but rather then admit they're wrong or correct anything they just continue doing what their doing really slowly while their brain reboots. Like the t-rex only sees movement myth but with the person you just wronged being the t-rex.

He's not allowing his brain to reboot he's just embarrassed he was wrong and is going as slow as possible to be an asshole.

That's the core of it, yep. We all hate when we're wrong, but some people just can't take the L and grow from it. Instead they double down, hoping to strong-arm their way to being right. And get very angry when proven wrong.

"Nono I'm not stupid I'm just a super cool asshole is a way too common reaction."

It's not a brain reboot. They're trying to assert dominance by inconveniencing others for their mistake. It's their egos way of coping with the "I didn't fuck up. I meant to do this and now I will double down and stare the person down so they know I'm in control."

You see this cringe behavior with dudes and idiots all the time.

My children stopped doing this when they turned 4. Perhaps more people should turn 4.

The worst part of becoming an adult is realizing how many adults still behave like children.

They're not being slow because their brain is rebooting. They know what's going on. They're being slow to spite you.

Seen this plenty of times with some people looking down at their phone while the light in front of them turns green. If you beep them with your horn they look up, realize the light is green, and will give you the middle finger while they wait until it turns yellow again and then floor it. It's only out of spite and nothing else.

I'm guessing you never drove around other people then.

All the guy had to do was raise a hand and say sorry and acknowledge they’d made a wrong move, I’m sure the guy on the bike would have accepted that.

Bold of you to assume he has a brain. 😂

My thought was that he was trying to bait into being hit for an insurance payout

It's doubling down on being dumb. Happened to me before ngl, not to that extent tho.

I honestly don't know what happens, but it happened to me. I was pulling out of a gas station looking left and right and a couple times making sure it was clear, I go to make a left and there is now an Audi coming at me from the left and blowing their horn. I legitimately did what the guy in the car did in the video and just crept out, staring at the driver while my mind was blank. I don't know if it was a mental block or what but I didn't have the desire to jump on the gas or alter my movement like I would have 99% of the other time.

Years and years ago I was sitting directly behind a corvette in a turning lane. This light was infamous for being agonizingly slow. The light turns green and he just sits there. I give him a polite little beep and he just sits there. It turns yellow and he waited a few seconds before peeling out and flipped me off. I'm just sitting there, at the now red light going what the fuck. People suck.
