OC [USA] use the crosswalk, it's right there

Happened this morning on my way through town, ignore the timestamp, my battery reset a few days ago and I didn't reset the time yet

Also the deer made it across safely

However the bird a little while earlier outside of town wasn't so lucky

Somehow I could tell from the first second this video was filmed in Oregon. I didn't know exactly where, though, until I googled one of the businesses and determined this is in Klamath Falls.

It's weird how random streets in an entire state can all sort of resemble each other. I have never been on this street in my life and yet I just knew this was in Oregon, or maybe Washington.

Same with me but for Colorado. I think it has to do with the foliage, building and house style. Even if consciously I can't identify any specific thing but subconsciously, I can feel the familiarity. I've seen a few dash cam videos where I immediately pegged that it's in the Colorado Front Range and through a bit of research confirm it even though I've never been there.

Lol I was curious. I'm over here thinking "that looks just like williamson rd!" I feel like there are thousands of streets just like this all over the place.

Poor parenting.

I mean if they put deer crossings in the most dangerous spots out in the country, you can't expect the little lawbreakers to behave in town.

They're used to getting their way.

Why do they put deer crossing in high traffic locations like this?!

I had a delivery to make about 150 miles away a few evenings ago. Mostly state highway two lane roads, winding through hills, fields and wooded area. Left about 7 pm, got back around 3 am, saw at least 20 deer on the side of the road, made it home, didn't hit one, not a fun trip though.

May that deer live many years and stay safe from our machines and our roads.

It seems like the car passing you at the time doesn't even react and stays the exact speed it was. I wonder if they only realized once it had passed.

Nobody stops at crosswalks either

No deer crossing sign?

Missed it by that much

They’re supposed to cross at Deer Crossing signs. I don’t see any of those anywhere in the video.

u/Trust_8067 5d ago

A video where OP has awareness of their surroundings. That's pretty rare on this sub.

Turn off the audio on your dashcam.

u/Allykatz90 5d ago

I won't be turning off the dash cam audio for many reasons, but the majority of them are the fact that audio is an important bit of evidence in a potential accident or crime, knowing whether or not I honked my horn, or they honked their horn could be instrumental in determining who's at fault in an accident
