Driving in the winter

Two clips illustrating Ukrainian roads in winter. Both clips shaky due to potholes.
The first is morning drive from Dnepropetrovsk to Zaporozhya.  Beautiful winter landscape makes for less than ideal driving conditions.

The second clip is drive back to Dnepropetrovsk in late afternoon. One can get some idea of a local driving style. The driver was doing 100-120 km/h. Did not dare to say anything to a driver as any remark from a woman about caution and safety could make him to lose concentration.
At one point the car from the opposite direction made a U turn to our side. After that I stoped recording. Closed my eyes. Focused on breathing. Not sure if I will schedule another driving trip in the winter.
