Youre right life is unfair. If only they were gifted with a couple functioning brain cells they would have moved out the way

You're right but they were paralyzed by fear. Is not that easy doing the right thing in that situation and just in one sec.

I dont think its fear but rather humans believing everyone acts according to rationale. They think “oh surely hell swerve to avoid hitting us” or, “hell brake before hitting us”. Its the same concept as pedestrians having the right of way so they look at their phones while crossing the street cause they believe people will follow law rather than thinking logically. Like, wow there is a hunk of metal that weighs multiple tons in motion towards me, i should probably wait for them to pass.
