neutral  Lonnie Legg: The source text is ambiguous, but sinde it reads "mit Fahrzeugen", not "+von+ Fahrzeugen", I think they mean "travelling shots" from cars.

  -> So the shots are being taken from cars coming out of the Schlechtwetterfront? I don't think so. Not to worry, :-)

The entry by Michael Martin refers to the technique of filming from a moving vehicle.
Much will depend on the number of times it is considered decent to include the word 'vehicle' in the English sentence.

agree  Lonnie Legg: w. 'driving shots': It sounds to me like the camera filming each shot (bursting forth through a "storm front") is in the respective vehicle...

  -> Thanks, Lonnie. I must confess, I'm not sure whether these shots/sequences are of, by, with or from the vehicle. I'm guessing that was why the question was asked in the first place.
agree  Cilian O'Tuama: why not?
