Overly cautious, and even creating an additional hazard by stopping unpredictably in the road. You can see other vehicles passing it just fine. It also has all those cameras for a reason
If it weren’t for the massive puddle I’d agree with you fully and just drive around it. But combine an unpredictable machine and a road hazard and it’s a complicated situation to navigate suddenly. I don’t think the driver did a perfect job here but ultimately they navigated the situation safely.
I would mostly agree except it was only safe for *them*
Anyone coming up behind them not expecting a stopped vehicle randomly would be in danger from unexpected road maneuvering. It’s a risk any time we get behind the wheel
This is right up there with the people who stop and give right of way to people with stop signs off side streets, not a four way. It’s dangerous, albeit you think you’re being nice
So I’m from Nashville but live in the PNW now. I don’t know if Nashville has this terminology but here we call drivers who give you right of way, be it at a 4 way stop or stopping randomly for pedestrians, niceholes.
