When driving a tanker, which is not empty (carrying about 18 tons of fuel), you need to be very aware of the laws of physics, otherwise you may end up on your side, spilling petrol all over the road. This Russian driver overcooks a corner, entering it much too quickly and from the wrong lane.
Since liquid slushes around, it is never a good idea to attempt any spirited cornering when carrying large amounts of liquid around (same goes for fire trucks). In this case, only some fuel was spilled, but such incidents can end much worse, with fire being one of the main concerns, as well as driver injuries - the driver from this particular video suffered only minor injuries, but was generally OK.
Another important fact is to never be on the outside of one of these top-heavy vehicles, when they are going around corners, because you and your car will never stand a chance against dozens of tons of steel and petrol.
