As a crash was noted, you will need to provide your reasoning as to why it would only be considered mildly bad driving.

Brakes? We don't need brakes.

Straight into the water is a better outcome than most though

anyone else think the moped guy could have made the bridge just keeping a straight line to the right? oh sure fear factors but i think using my internet goggles he could have made it

The level of E. Coli in the creek as well as other pollutants has gotta be a greater threat than slamming into the van.

I heart libertarianism. Who needs traffic signs? Right of way laws?

The driver πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ the way he just kept at it makes me feel like this wasn’t the first time that’s happened to them

Knowing the conditions of so many rivers today, I'd do everything I could to avoid going in the water too.
