Oversteer refers to a phenomenon experienced in vehicle handling, where the rear tires lose traction during a turn, causing the back end of the vehicle to swing out. This can lead to a loss of control and potentially dangerous situations. Synonymous terms for oversteer include "tail-happiness", "power slide" or "drift". These words are often used in motorsports slang to describe the intentional act of sliding a vehicle sideways. However, it's important to note that oversteering in everyday driving scenarios can be unintentional and poses a risk to safety. Professional drivers and enthusiasts employ techniques to control and counterbalance oversteer, showcasing their skill and mastery of vehicle handling dynamics.
