Over-correction will result in a skid in the opposite direction, - hence the name. Without a proper driver's reaction, the fishtailing car will spin; due to eventual loss of grip from the front wheels as well. The instinctive response (to steer right if the rear swings left or vice versa) will worsen the spin</p></blockquote><p></p>
