Braking, even the slightest tap will send the car spinning like a block of ice... Been thru that once long time ago in a FWD... Was still relatively 'green' back then as a driver. But I have since put a mental note not to brake in an oversteering situation. FYI, it's very easy to correct an oversteering FWD, just full throttle and countersteer. The front driving wheels will pull the car to the direction you're pointing with the steering. Did this exercise during HPC instructor's Advance driving course at the Proton test track some years back.  with my little drifting and go-karting experience,no issue controling the car every time the instructor pulled the handrake while I drive in circle on the wet skidpad. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> As for correcting an oversteering RWD, it's trickier to perfect. Counter too much and the car will fishtail. and if it fishtail more than 2 times, chances are the car will end up in a spin.  But practice makes perfect... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> After a while, u'll know exactly how much to countersteer to straighten its course of direction... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
