AKA lift off oversteer...in the corner and you lift off gas, the rear end can lift causing sudden oversteer

Had it happen once to me in the rain, really is instantaneous - lift then snap, rear end loose

I wouldn't have parked 1/2 way into the lane like the blue hatch did. Especially not on that stretch of road. Love that uphill tho.

ehhh more like your rear end kicks out then it happens to swing the opposite way violently either due to weight shift, braking, throttle position or suspension set up.

Not really about "snap" overstear but it does talk about "lift" overstear/Trail braking.
