What would you do? v. Creepy roadstop

Why would anyone want to drive past an unknown threat, exposing themselves to danger? The cones and the parked car were visible in this guy's low beams at a reasonably safe distance. Seems to me that the smartest thing to do would be to stop there, hit the brights and get a good look at the situation. I would rather back up some after seeing some skell in a hoodie then drive past him, exposing my flank to god know what. The best way to deal with danger is to prevent being in it in the first place.

 

Additionally, not knowing what was beyond those cones makes jamming on the gas a pretty bad idea. No way to know if there is another car or some other obstruction to stop you in your tracks. Caution always wins over bravado.

Actually, I would have nailed it after Mr Hoodie came around.  This is NOT how you warn drivers of approaching danger....he IS the approaching danger!
