It seems like there are a LOT of crashes with old Ladas hitting the brakes suddenly, then immediately slewing sideways into oncoming traffic or something else photo-worthy.
At least the "classic" Ladas such as the Laika and the Niva have 70% front-30% rear brake bias, and instead of a dual-diagonal circuit they have the main circuit operating on all wheels while the secondary operates front wheels only.
