    No idea I’m afraid but not around the Thame area. That’s why the picture caption makes is clear that the image is ‘for illustrative purposes only’. It is a still taken from a genuine video capturing a lad ‘playing chicken’ just before he was hit by a vehicle. Luckily for him he was not seriously hurt but nevertheless, a really stupid thing to do!
