2. Opposite lock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposite_lock

   The terms "opposite lock" and "counter-steering" refer to the position of the steering wheel during the maneuver, which is turned in the opposite direction to that of the bend. The technique works best on loose or wet surfaces where the friction between the tires and the road is not too high, but can also be used on asphalt or other surfaces ...

3. Understeer and oversteer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Understeer_and_oversteer

   This is what is happening when a car 'spins out'. A car susceptible to being loose is sometimes known as 'tail happy', as in the way a dog wags its tail when happy and a common problem is fishtailing. In real-world driving, there are continuous changes in speed, acceleration (vehicle braking or accelerating), steering angle, etc.

4. Lift-off oversteer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift-off_oversteer

   Lift-off oversteer (also known as trailing-throttle oversteer, throttle off oversteer, or lift-throttle oversteer) is a form of sudden oversteer.While cornering, a driver who closes the throttle (by lifting a foot off the accelerator, hence the name), usually at a high speed, can cause such sudden deceleration that the vertical load on the tires shifts from rear to front, in a process called ...

5. Electronic stability control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_stability_control

   During normal driving, ESC continuously monitors steering and vehicle direction. It compares the driver's intended direction (determined by the measured steering wheel angle) to the vehicle's actual direction (determined through measured lateral acceleration, vehicle rotation, and individual road wheel speeds).

   Steve Guttenberg hit the ground running to help people impacted by the fires in Pacific Palisades — and he was almost unrecognizable. The flames first began around 10:30 a.m. local time on ...

7. Sudden unintended acceleration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_unintended_acceleration

   The first major cause of unintended acceleration was found in March 2007, when an engineering analysis showed that unsecured all-weather mats had led to pedal entrapment and drivers accelerating up to 90 mph (140 km/h) with decreased braking power.
