Russian Driver Loses Control During Overtaking Maneuver and Tips Over

Driving quickly on snowed-up roads is a very bad idea, even if you are at the wheel of a sophisticated all-wheel drive car, which is virtually-guaranteed by the manufacturer to keep going even when the going gets tough. However, most people don`t have such cars, and most, especially in Russia, drive underpowered front-wheel drive boxes.
Take this driver, for instance. He drives behind the classic Lada for a few seconds, then decides it is a good time to overtake. However, after passing the Lada, the car begins to lose grip, and it wobbles slightly. The driver manages to correct it, but moments later it happens again, and this time the body movement is far too severe to be controlled, and the car ends up in the ditch, to the left of the road, with its wheels facing up.

This time, aside from a little speeding, the driver was not to blame, but the state of his car was, most likely. It is clear that his ride is not the most stable around, and the driver could have and should have exercised a bit of caution, especially considering the state of the road.
