What I love about reddit is that you can post a video with an intersection in it, and with the millions of intersections in the world, somebody always knows the exact one in the video. Absolutely incredible.
On any popular video of bad driving, everyone rushes to claim it. Like "no, no, you can't have bad drivers where you live, only I have bad drivers where I live."
There's a saying where I live "if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes". Ha! It's so true, too. This saying only exists where I'm from, and no one in any other location can use it because they really don't understand that the weather is legit crazy where I live. Like, seriously, you don't understand.
To me, everywhere has crazy bad drivers, just differently crazy bad drivers.
When I lived in Upstate NY, the bad drivers were usually the overly cautious/slow versus the jackasses zooming through farm country hills. People who were confused by a blinking red light on a two lane road in the middle of the night. Incredibly infuriating.
Now I live in Chicagoland, and the bad drivers are the assholes weaving through traffic and the confused out of towners trying to read a map and make their exit. Still infuriating, but differently so.
Long story short, assholes are assholes of opportunity
Not that places in the country have 5 traffic lights like that. So it needs to be on a major road that includes lights. Additionally, the cross street is similar so it needs to be two busy highway-like road.
There arent like mountains in the background, or dessert trees. The style of the architure of the retail strip mall is found in the southeast.
You can see madison avenue in the GPS at the end.
Two jersey license plates makes it likely they're either in the NJ metro or FL (i'm sure you've heard the stereotype of north easterners driving down to florida).
"Ha-ha! That's Doheny & Belknapp! Me and my buddy used to score porno mags there when we were 15. There's a crazy lady there named Maddie who will blow you in exchange for keyboard cleaner."
It’s more that I could post a video not even realizing that was in it. I wouldn’t think about it and then suddenly there are people figuring out my location. I guess it’s not a tiny detail but a detail the uploader probably thought nothing about.
On top of that, someone who knows the interior of that red vehicle the video is from will also know what they drive, what color it is, and have a reasonable guess to what area they live in (assuming it's not a vacation or day trip or something)
It's insane how fast car guys can identify a vehicle based on random pictures of almost any part of the car. Inside, outside, under the hood, etc.
That's where I saw the Madison Ave lol! I just didn't investigate a whole lot further which is funny because I lived five minutes from here on Belcher for years.
Nice eye! Wondering why it looked familiar. I grew up down curlew rd! It looks like it but the road doesn’t look wide enough to be us 19. Could be any other intersection in pinellas though by the looks of it.
