Taking a corner hard, it starts understeering, if you hit the brakes just hard enough, the back end will wip around. Like using the ebrake, but it's the regular brakes. No ABS either. The back brakes just put enough pressure on the back tires to make them slide, then ABS can't do anything.
This is why you should never brake in the middle of a corner. Annoys the **** out of me when I see some minivan take an offramp curve too quickly and hit the brakes, then it starts sliding around because the moron doesn't know how to safely take a corner.

Brake into the corner, accelerate out. If you're not sure of what speed is appropriate, go into the corner more slowly.

thats why u don't break hard... I know u thought o crap then slammed them, but thats why u crashed. It prolly would have been better to keep going and let him hit you. then its not ur fault and u get it fix via him. **** like this happpens, just be gald its a few bruises. I've been in two wrecks, ( i locked em up on the first one. ) she was comming head on with me... so i was just trying to slow down...
