oversteer

Oversteer occurs when a vehicle's rear tires lose traction before the front tires during a turn, causing the back of the car to swing outward. This makes the vehicle turn more sharply than intended and can lead to a spin if not corrected. Factors contributing to oversteer include driving at high speeds, sudden steering inputs, or uneven road surfaces. Skilled drivers can manage oversteer with precise steering and throttle adjustments, but it can be challenging to control, especially for inexperienced drivers. Proper vehicle maintenance and safe driving habits help minimize the risk of oversteer.
