Chinese Driver Makes U-Turn Using Pedestrian Bridge

If you are stuck in traffic and no legal way to turn around, what do you do? Ignore the “no U-turn” sign? Say “hey, I have an SUV” and take the median? A driver in China’s Kumming, a city famous for ake Lamborghinis and illicit substances, took another route: A pedestrian bridge.
These bridges in China are steep affairs with stairmaster-worthy steps and sloping bands of concrete for wheeling your bicycle or baby carriage up and down. The frustrated owner of this Santana decided they are just the ticket for his car. Which got him on local TV. From there on Youku (the Chinese version of YouTube) and from there on TTAC.
And come on, the car is quite pedestrian anyway.

After spending 7 years going back & forth to China I can truly describe the Chinese driving style as "lack of patience" driving. I can't count the number of times I had to get out of the way of vehicles while walking on the sidewalk. This video just reinforces my notion. I am back in the states for a few weeks. I find myself driving agressive for a week or so until I get back into the US mode of having patience.
Nice hill descent control. Who needs an SUV when a 30 year old VW Passat design will do?
I just don't know
How can communism last much longer in China with such independent thinking happening?
