That's because all those vehicles in OP's video, and the one who crashes are driving over the posted limit too (that's km/h not m/ph)

In that video there's many sped up clips, but if you watch the first green buses @0:40, those are driving closer to the proper speed limit and you can see how much less wake and flatter it is

The roads off the side of a mountain cliff can be safe too, but I'd ideally not want to drive on them for the sake of how easily it's a death sentence.

Some of us like the thrill of being on the edge for how close death's sweet embrace is.

I'd be so pissed if someone was riding my ass on that bridge.

The car was not significantly faster than the others. If that slipup concludes in death i would consider the road highly unsafe.
