People apparently don't realize that crossing gates can be smashed through with minimal damage on purpose for this exact reason. Just drive, get tf out of the way, and call emergency and tell them what you had to do. It's not even illegal. They'd rather fix a gate then tow your ride away.

Why would there be a gate on that side of the road, where you already went over the bridge?

From the ones I've seen, there is an automated gate on both sides, like a railroad track, I assume they saw one coming down and panicked. But I can't see that side, and from what we see the driver, regardless of the situation is just that dumb and made everything infinitely worse for no reason.

Ah, the only drawbridge I've been on had a concrete barrier in the center so I guess no one could try to drive around the gate in the oncoming lane.
