   This is where the front wheels that steer do not react very responsively to turning

2. Understeer
   Occurs when the wheels are turned, and the car does not turn at the same rate. Causes the front of the car to take a wider apex than the driver's steering lock requires. Also called push, or tight in the US. Can be corrected by adding more front downforce, sofening springs and rollbar, or reducing front tyre pressure. Extreme conditions cause a car to go straight on instead of turning for a corner

3. Understeer
   A handling condition in which the slip angle of the front tyres is greater than the slip angle of the rears. An understeering car is sometimes said to push, because it resists turning and tends to go straight.

4. Understeer
   When the front tires lose traction before the rear tires, a car is understeering. Instinctively, a driver will compensate for understeer simply by turning the steering wheel further. This makes understeer safer than oversteer for the average driver, so automobile manufacturers design this characteristic into their cars.

5. Understeer
   `Understeer` and `oversteer` are vehicle dynamics terms used to describe the sensitivity of a vehicle to steering. Automotive engineers originally defined understeer and oversteer based on the gradient of the steering needed to make a turn in a steady-state condition (constant speed, constant radius...
