Travel from Tbilisi to the border with an overnight stay in Stepantsminda.
The video comes approximately from the Zhinvali reservoir, where interesting landscapes begins (in terms of relief). From Tbilisi to the starting point of the video there is about an hour. So the total travel time to the border is about 2 hours 45 minutes in the good traffic conditions I had. It was a weekday, the start from Tbilisi was at 16:00.
The recording is somewhat overshadowed by 30 fps and the broken glass of a old rental Prius). Everything was written according to the tradition of this year on a GoPro with the battery pulled out at the minimum settings (so that it does not turn off due to overheating).
The main beauty - the second hour. You can jump right in there.
In general, I would not call this place the "road of death", as it is noted on many videos with grandiose music and suspense. Yes, on the way back there were several not very pleasant flights with an oncoming lane at the turns of the pass (I will post separately later), but I saw much more accidents on the verge of fatality in live-mode and in the consequences on the district around Kobuleti (Batumi), with daily Georgian "checkers". On this track, thank God, the majority understands that you need to act wisely, plus its character does not allow you to fall asleep. The main problem, of course, is the numerous unregistered truck's sleeping points, which narrow the track to a 1.5x factor and force all road users to go beyond their friendliness and arrogance. On busy days, you will most likely have a lot of work in reverse mode constantly looking for temporary pockets between trucks.
