Урезанная версия:

В том описании я сказал, что оберзал, т.к. дальше ничего интересного, но если посмотреть это видео, то дальше есть кадры на которых к нам приближаются деревья со скоростью 72км/ч. Поэтому и выложил полную версию.

Напомню:
Это видео получил в ГАИ по месту жительства. Начальник админпрактики очень адекватная женщина и сама сказала кто же так шъёт? Тут же ничего нет, подавай жалобу на действия сотрудников ГАИ

Обновление. 16.05.2012 вынесли постановление наложить штраф 255 грн. Начальник вобще не имеет представления о работе визира. Пишу заяву в суд.

Kryvyi Rih

Kryvyi Rih or Krivoi Rog is a city in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine; it is the 8th most populous city in the country. It lies within a large urban area, administratively, incorporated with Kryvyi Rih Municipality as a city of region significance. It also serves as the administrative center of the district although it is not part of it. The city extends for 126 km from north to south.
Standing on the Saksahan and Inhulets river, Kryvyi Rih has been a major settlement for most of its history, going back to its founding as a postal city in 1775 by the Cossaks. A military settlement until 1860, it was part of Kherson, although it was incorporated during the 20th century with areas of Yekaterinoslav. The township began to expand at an astonishing rate at the beginning of the 1880s. Kryvyi Rih's urbanization was unplanned; French and English investment was brought on by a boom in metallurgy, iron mining and investigation of rich deposits of iron ore. The building of the Yekateryninska Railway in 1884 built for transportation of ore to Donbas transformed Kryvyi Rih into a major industry town that culminated in city status in 1919. Nationalization and investment spurred by soviet authorities led to extensive growth. In 1934 Kryvorizhstal was built, the first of more than 500 factories. The city also gave rise to the foundation of Kryvyi Rih National University. Financially, the city's growth after the nazi occupation increased due to economic reforms. Also, investment spurred by Ukrainian Independence, market economy and the 2014 revolution led to extensive regeneration, particularly in the city centre.
