You can stop at any time on any road if you feel there is reason to do so.
In this case there was no reason for him to stop.

Sure, so in that case the guy stopped and couldn't do so with reasonable safety because he did it suddenly and there was somebody right behind him. That's what the law is there for. In my case when I "stopped" there wasn't anybody behind me, therefore, it was reasonably safe.
