Russian BMW Driver Doesn’t Understand Rear-Wheel Drive

If you have driven a front wheel drive car all your life, and never even tried getting behind the wheel of something sportier, with rear-wheel drive, there are a few simple rules you should follow, especially if the car in question is 1990s BMW 3-Series, which does not have any sort of traction control - don’t accelerate too hard in corners, and try not to floor it when changing lanes, as the rear can easily break loose.
This Russian driver sets off from the traffic lights, and then tries to change lanes, and probably accelerates too hard, as the rear of the car begins to slide, and he ends up planted in the wall of a nearby building, completely ruining the front of the car, along with the radiator which immediately begins to leak fluid onto the road.

Also, judging by the amount of damage visible on the front of the car, we say the driver accelerated quite vigorously just before the car broke traction, yet the inertia was maintained and the resulting impact was more sever than the apparent speed would have led us to believe.
