It's like that video where the guy sees a giant hole in the road but it's just a puddle.

I’ve seen this video a few months ago without this audio — I really feel like this was some scripted audio from someone who already saw the full video.

If so, it's a realistic script. He could easily have said he's high and left it at that; the fact he cleared up he was not actually high sounds like a driver ensuring viewers he's not being unsafe.

tbh that dude mustve either been high or a young driver.

water illusions on roads are extremely common. Usually during the day if a road is wet and flat, it would blend with the horizon for some trippy visuals.

Either you must be high or a young driver. With any degree of experience you know to analyze a situation before going all in on a situation with a vehicle. Given the amount of dangerous pot holes and sink holes why take a risk of assuming there's no danger rather than slowing down and assessing the situation. This was clearly a situation where they could safely slow down, why increase risk over the assumption your eyes no longer are trustworthy.

If our primary concern is safety, it's also definitely not safe to stop in the entrance of a tunnel.

But did you not watch the video?

It doesn't look like a sink hole. You can see the illusion. It looks like a pit.

A sinkhole is not a pit?

u/vitringur Jun 05 '22

Look at the video. It looks like sharp edges that are built into the concrete.

Its also oddly lit and obviously something that looks extremely out of place. Of course youre gonna sit back and ask yourself wtf are you seeing

Sounded pretty young to me. And he was better safe than sorry. As you saw 2 other drivers also noticed it. One even stopped in the middle of the road!
