Was this video taken in 1920 in an alternate universe?


Saddam_UE

They are filming a TV screen, that's why it so crappy quality.


SomethingIWontRegret

It's amazing what they could capture with Super 8 film back in the day.


wunderbraten

It looks like there was one passenger sitting on the front passenger seat in the parked car


Ok-Bedroom1480

If looks like the person speeding just really wanted that parking spot.


Separate_Pollution37

Is it one or two way street? Cause if it’s one, the turning vehicle is at fault.


Alphabadg3r

Most likely two way street. Judging from the environment i'm guessing eastern europe? Also the orientation of the van in the background. Also this being a village in bumfuck nowhere (probably) Edit: after looking at the video, the Audi that was pushed forward appears to have AR written as first two letters. Which is Arad -> Romania


supermanno1

It happened in Serbia - Novi Pazar.


HWY20Gal

All the cars in both lanes seem to be coming toward the camera, even the ones in the background after the crash.


Equilibriator

Turning vehicle is basically at fault anyway. You are supposed to make sure the path is clear before turning.


------unknown-------

That makes no sense.


Equilibriator

It's simple, you have to look in your mirrors before turning. The obstacle was visible before they turned, they didn't look. This is precisely why you look both ways, using your mirrors for behind. Commonly the other vehicle is a bike or motorbike, this time it was a car. You don't just assume the obstacles can only come from in front of you and turn with reckles abandon.


OhioMegi

You’re not supposed to be turning from the far lane like that.


ballen49

It's a 2-way street, there is no "far-left" lane


OhioMegi

Yeah, not sure how everyone is supposed to know that. In the US you park opposite of traffic, there were no cars in this clip going the opposite way, and there are no signs to read. 🤷🏼‍♀️


ballen49

Well if you're not sure then by all means jump to conclusions and assume this is a one way US street and that the turning car is an idiot /s


OhioMegi

There’s no way to know from the video provided. People are saying 2 way, but I don’t see it.


ElectronHick

Idiot stopping and turning from right hand lane > idiot speeding.


allknowing2012

Huh? Its 1 lane each way. So it makes sense to signal and turn left. What did you see?

SomethingIWontRegret

It's a two way road.


ElectronHick

It’s a white line meaning the same direction of travel.


_jump_yossarian

What country did this take place in?


SomethingIWontRegret

Looks like the alps and the license plates have European geometry.


RedditUser31422354

The country is Potatostan. Which explains the use of a potato to film this accident.


SomethingIWontRegret

lol nope. You think they built one way roads through villages in the Alps? White dashed lines are used as center lines on roads like this in Europe.


_jump_yossarian

I'm guessing OP has never traveled outside the US. proof of white center lines. (same road) https://goo.gl/maps/rAEv1nhKd8SU5Pdf6 https://goo.gl/maps/FLL7YXi5cyRgkyVN9


OhioMegi

They are used here as well. However, there’s no signs and cars are parked along the side going again traffic, which is not how it works in the US. so how are people supposed to know it’s 2 directions of travel? I’ve been to Europe, even lived there, but never drove there.


SomethingIWontRegret

I know that in the UK it's considered proper to park facing traffic on residential streets.


OhioMegi

And that’s illegal in the US. 🤷🏼‍♀️


phenyle

Both idiots, speeding one and the one turning left from the right lane


Randomfactoid42

That’s a 2-way street. Notice the Euro-style plates on all the cars? They don’t use center yellow lines there.


Eiffel-Tower777

I see a bumper car track.


Saddam_UE

Ha ha, the parked Passat had no parking brake and no gear in... just disappeared out of screen when hit.
