from one of the 'experts' on that site:
Loose: oversteer: Poor heel & toe. Poor transition from throttle to brakes. Front and rear skids will diverge...No choice but to stay on the binders...not what you want to do when the back end's coming around.
That's the most rediculous description of oversteer I have EVER heard of!
Oversteer is a condition when the slip angle of the rear tires is greater than the slip angle of the front tires.
Also: staying on the brakes will not help: with oversteer, gentle application of the throttle can help counter the sliding effect.

Sounds like a bunch of 11th graders hoping to start driving soon.

Idiots!
