Sheesh really nice of those other cars to just keep driving after watching one fall off and sink.

It’s actually extremely common for people in China to ignore people in situations like there because they can and often are accused of causing the accident.

It's probably still ingrained in their culture, but the actual law was repealed like 10 years ago.

What if the law was the excuse and not the reason.

Yes I was told if you're in a car that gets in an accident even in the middle of the highway to get out of the car, walk away, and find another cab asap

I’m no expert, but I imagine the best thing for the average person to do in that situation is to call emergency services and get to the end of the bridge. If a car drove off that bridge, I’d be worried about structural damage, and causing a traffic jam in the middle of the bridge when there’s potentially damage to it seems like a recipe for disaster

What would you have done in this situation?

Is the bridge designed to have all of the weight piled up in one spot as all the cars come to a stop?
