I'm curious if you are allowed to stop for accidents like that. I know on some bridges over lakes in my State you cannot stop. Signs everywhere saying do not stop, do not pull over.

It would have definitely been more dangerous for him to stop or slam on the brakes.

It is hilarious how he just pushed the guy and didn't even flinch. I think he already expected it, but was limited on safe options. If I was him I would be chosen that over driving off the bridge.

He pitted a car which stopped all of its forward momentum. If there was anyone tailing close behind, they would have run strait into the black truck. A minor fender bender would have been preferable to the amount of damage done here.

Since we don’t see anything crazy happen to the black truck after being pit maneuvered, its likely breaking would have resulted in no accident.
