New York Shitty Videos Du Jour: Live From Graham Avenue & Driggs Avenue
After receiving a tip about— and later receiving a downright scary personal account from— the lady cyclist who was hit by a car at this intersection earlier this week, today I decided to see for myself exactly how the stop sign in question is obeyed. Or not— as you’ll see.
New York Shitty analysis:
- Props go to the livery cab driver who pulled over to let the ambulance pass.
- Otherwise, simply slowing down and peering around the corner does not a “stop” make.
- Methinks some traffic enforcement is in order.
As luck would have it the Commanding Officer of the 94th Precinct— Deputy Inspector Hurson himself— spied me walking down Woodpoint Road shortly after I shot the above footage. He pulled over and we talked. I told him about what I saw at this intersection, noting the recent accident (of which he was familiar). Hopefully we’ll see some action here moving forward…
UPDATE, 9:34 p.m.: I informed the lady recovering from this accident, who we’ll call “C”, of my findings. Here’s what she had to say.
…thank you for putting my story w. the photo on new york shitty. a friend said she saw that i commented… i told her she was nuts… but then we figured it out!! i spoke to (Good Samaritan — Ed. Note), one of the guys that helped me. he was actually driving behind the guy that hit (me) and said he didn’t stop. he actually sped up!! (Good Samaritan) has photos and took notes!!…
To be continued…?

Spotted On Bedford Avenue: Bus With Benefits
Those of you who are in search of a tenement on wheels affordable housing might find this item of interest. Not only will $3,999 purchase you a school bus-cum-recreational vehicle (with food truck potential) but “Bessie (as she is lovingly called) has recently passed safety inspection, sports three beds; curtains for privacy; a fridge and “positive vibes” to boot. “Two fishing rods and gear” have been thrown in to sweeten the deal. Just think of the money you’ll save on rent, north Brooklynites!
WARNING/CAVEAT: While easy on the wallet the toll on one’s dignity, however, may be another matter altogether. To each their own, I suppose. Just PLEASE don’t release your sewage on my block.
We have enough problems here.
