I've recognised a few locations over the years and it definitely adds a bit of interest to a clip, though the downside is that you know the bad drivers are on roads near you...
I recognised a location from one of the crash compilations once. I just had to send it to a friend, as it was the exact same circumstances (including the intersection) as an accident he was in 5 years earlier. There are a couple of give way signs in North Kellyville that people love to fly through.
A month or two ago I sent one to my family because there some footage from a town up near where they live.
Then there's the occasional road I recognise, but generally because it's a major road in Sydney like Victoria Road or Warringah Road. Or the time that someone did a u-turn on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
I only remember one Tasmanian clip and that was just roadrage vs a pedestrian that was trying to cross a 4-lane stroad.
