Dangerous driving terms

>Overcorrecting
turned the wheel too far in response to an avoidable stimuli such as loss of traction or driving off the road
usually results in a spin
>Fail to negotiate a turn
self explanatory, can happen due to understeer or oversteer
>Hydroplane
wet conditions created standing water on road surface which the vehicle travels on (or hydroplanes) instead of the road surface
think snowmobile on a lake
youtube.com
but the lake is less than an inch deep
and when you sink you regain traction
fun fact: motorcycles despite their light weight are less likely to hydroplane
bonus explanation: understeer vs oversteer

>A way to avoid this especially at high speeds is to let off the gas and slowly brake.
I think overcorrection is too broad of a term for a simple catch-all fix like that. Different flavors of traction loss require different methods of correction to maintain control, no one method works for everything.

>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.
Correct. someone post the tripfag webm so OP knows what shit driving looks like
>Failing to negotiate a turn is when you over estimate the entry speed into a corner, causing potential oversteer or understeer.
Failing to negotiate a turn is exactly that, you didnt make it around the corner. Could also be that you were a total beginner retard and turned the wheel to hard at low speeds and ended up on the pavement, it could be that you didnt even see the corner (never underestimate stupidity) and just carried on straight into a wall
>Hydroplaning is when you are driving on a water covered road. Drive slowly.
Hydroplaning is when you lose control due to road water and "hydro plane" across it. Driving on a water covered road is called driving on a water covered road.

holy shit

>Overcorrecting
Correcting is when you take action when the car is out of control, like turning the wheel or coming off the throttle
Overcorrection is where you correct too much or too suddenly, i.e. too much steering input or brake hard, and it causes the car to become even more out of control.
>Fail to negotiate a turn
When you start at turn but don't finish it. Usually it's coming in too fast and running wide or braking suddenly mid-turn and the back end comes around but it could be simpler shit.
>Hydroplane
When you drive through standing water and the tyres become overwhelmed by all the water and lose contact with the tarmac.

CoG also plays a role. Look at some of the non-steering audi landbarges with the entire engine in front of the front axle, understeer for days my senpai
