Bad news on the highway
I honestly did not realize how fast these things happen. Seven seconds and it could all be over

5. Fakeity fake fake.

Look at the other cars on the road. They continue driving normally during the "quake." The cracks also look badly animated. ALso, roads are not generally built over yawning chasms in earthquake zones without some measures being taken to reinforce them. Fianlly, they've never had an earthquake of the magnitude necessary to cause such damage in either the UK, Ireland or Australia (note the side of the road the cars are driving).

on edit: the footage looks like it was shot in the UK, judging from the models of cars and the color and shape of the license plates.
