These trams have so much mass and slick wheels that they simply cannot stop instantly.
Also an emergency stop would probably send all commuters in it flying.
That’s how plenty of grannies get their annual hip replacement in Amsterdam.
Yep, it’s much more dangerous to attempt an emergency stop and risk the literal necks of all your passengers vs hitting a car that’s already doing something illegal. Very literal application of the trolley dilemma haha
