New to driving. What are these terms that people always use and how to avoid them?
Overcorrecting
Fail to negotiate a turn
Hydroplane
I'm still new to driving so a lot of the google results don't come up with helpful terms that don't require me to search up a lot of other things. Are there any other dangerous driving terms out there that I should be aware of?

Overcorrecting is when you lose control of the car and by correcting too much you may spin out. A way to avoid this especially at high speeds is to let off the gas and slowly brake.
Failing to negotiate a turn is when you over estimate the entry speed into a corner, causing potential oversteer or understeer.
Hydroplaning is when you are driving on a water covered road. Drive slowly.
Always check your mirrors, always signal, be confident and alert.
>not oversteering every corner and then punching the throttle for maximum powerslide
fucking weak
>Implying op has access to a rwd driftbox for maximum slides

There use to be an interesection at my old highschool we'd hoon on around 3am. It was always hilarious to see our skids the morning after. Some retard hit the curb and took his rim into autoshop and we hung it on the wall.

nice.
we had a dirt lot behind our school that became a ghetto-ass short course track and some dude blew his c-clip out and his axle fucking fell out when he landed. good times.
>at least it gave him an excuse to put in a 14 bolt
What's oversteer and understeer? I guess it's just when you're already going right and you keep turning more right?
Doesn't that make understeering just going straight?
thank u for no bully
understeer
>not steering enough into the turn, generally ends in guard rail meeting grille
oversteer
>steering too much into a turn, generally ending in spinning out
>let off the gas and slowly brake.
*spins out behind you*
this is incredibly misleading
understeer is when you try to turn but the car has no grip on the front wheels and keeps going straight
oversteer is when you are turning the car but the car has no grip on the rear wheels and turns more than you want it too (unless you did it on purpose)
