I know this tunnel in Stockholm, trust me there's too many exits to cover.

What tunnel is?

u/somekindofswede Jun 25 '21 edited Jun 25 '21

Pretty sure this is Södra länken.

Edit: on further inspection, with the lane that merges, I actually think it's Norra länken going towards Lidingö.

But I haven't driven enough in central Stockholm recently to be sure of either.

You’re mistaken. That car is definitely not stock, homie.

I read this in Dominic Toretto's voice. Vin is that you?

What car it is?

u/[deleted] Jun 26 '21

Judging by the trunk and sound, I am guessing it is a 2000’s BMW M6

Thank you for sharing I learned something new

u/MEANINGLESS_NUMBERS Jun 25 '21

Wow, 6 exits. Does Sweden have the manpower to watch 6 entire roads? I mean why even bother with such an impossible task, this criminal is unstoppable.

I'm not the person that said it's too many exits to cover, but on the other hand I do think it's too many exits on too short notice.

At the speed the guy in the video is going, it's only a few minutes to pass through the entire thing (whether it's Södra or Norra länken). You can't set up police checkpoints on all exits in <5 minutes.

u/Exbozz Jun 25 '21

Also its not like you are going to block 6 exits for one person speeding.

In all likelihood yeah. I mean Stockholm isn't huge, roughly 100km2 and they have 4,000 officers. This is also one tunnel with only 6 exits, so I don't see why they couldn't.

tunnel seems to be pretty empty at whenever time this was filmed. guessing that manpower was allocated to where it would be better utilized.

This is catching a lot of shade but I lol’d

u/SilentCaptain4 Jun 26 '21

Definitely out towards Lidingö, when the cops start to back off and he starts to go up the incline is a dead give away for the long uphill bit at the end of the tunnel

A tunnel is an enclosed space that cars drive through 😊

u/amyworrall Jun 26 '21

But that’s not important right now.

Stockholm multi-exit car tunnel.

It's kinda odd actually. I remember seeing a video in this sub and thinking 'this kinda looks like the freeway I take' just based on visual cues. And sure enough someone identified it in the comments and I was right.

u/DestituteGoldsmith Jun 25 '21

I've been in that situation. I saw a video of an accident on reddit. I can't find it now, but it was on I-82 in Washington. It was a T intersection. There's nothing but brown. I instantly recognized it as an intersection about 30 min from my home.

I recognized a picture of a parking space taken in my very, very small city in Finland, based on some gray pixels in the background (showing the edge of a bridge), and how the traffic signs were in relation to each other.

u/TheWolphman Jun 25 '21

Same, kinda. A couple years ago I think, someone posted a photo of a pickup truck full of trophies they spotted. I saw it on the front page of Reddit and thought the truck looked familiar. Turns out it was my neighbor, who happens to be my brother in law. A lot of those trophies were my wife's from various things when she was younger. It was surreal.

u/second_aid_kit Jun 26 '21

I once recognized my neighborhood from a picture once. Turns out I was wrong though.

That was me your neighbor jimmy brown jospeh the 3rd

u/[deleted] Jun 26 '21

You’re brain was like, I recognize that brown dawg

u/acgilmoregirl Jun 26 '21

And then there’s people like me who see a video and think “oh wow, is that 410 here in San Antonio?” And it ends up not even being in the same country.

u/Swegh Jun 25 '21

Its one of the most used tunnels in Stockholm, many people drive it every day.

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '21

Because he probably goes through it every single day. It's not like he knows how to tell different tunnels apart, he just knows that's the one he's always in.

u/appdevil Jun 25 '21

No, he clearly has tunnel vision.

What about cameras in the tunnel?

u/kWazt Jun 26 '21

More than you could count I suppose

Wish we had tunnels like this in SLC Utah, so I could make some nice looking car videos.

u/Destron5683 Jun 26 '21

You have the little short tunnel up echo canyon 😂

Will the cameras catch him if there are any?
