oversteer
This term is a technical descriptor used primarily in automotive engineering and performance driving. It describes a specific imbalance in handling where the rear tires lose grip before the front tires, causing the vehicle to rotate more sharply than the steering input suggests. This is often contrasted with understeer, where the front tires lose grip and the car resists turning.
In a practical driving context, oversteer is frequently associated with "drifting" or "fishtailing." While it can be a dangerous loss of control for an average driver, professional racers often induce a controlled state of oversteer to navigate tight corners more efficiently.
