I can't believe they didn't stop. Does anyone know if we can report these people or something?

i saw that this morning too, felt bad for the poor snake! They should of pulled over and if they were scared, call someone who could help. Not just leave it on there!

With out sounding offensive to any potential americans out there..... are you suprised? Not the greatest animal loving nation in the world. Whats worse is it appears that one of the passengers appears to be a guide/scout? Surely they will have morals instilled in them? Stopping is the first thing i would do!

Ohh I saw this yesterday :( I couldn't watch all of it. Poor thing. The decent thing to do would have been to pull over.

Their over-riding concern seemed to be video it for their 15 minutes of fame at the cost of helping it.

Poor snake. From the other poibnt of view if you didnt know what kind of snake it was you would be apprehensive to remove it yourself. But they could have pulled over and if need be called someone. They didnt seem overly paniced or scared either.

I cant say I'm surprised either that people film distress rather than helping. I just hope that the fall killed the snake instantly and put it out of its misery of skidding down the concrete. I know if I was to discover an animal on my bonnet I would head straight for the hard shoulder, not danger over for the snake but at least the fall wont injure it. I sure as hell wouldn't be filming it and laughing. You would have to get off the motorway though or catch the snake to stop it getting run over or you getting run over trying to help it.
