> I know this sounds obvious, but with all the training we get on how to regain control when fishtailing and such, it becomes very counter intuitive to try to do this in a real situation.

It just occurred to me that when fishtailing in a front wheel drive, the reaction is pretty much the same as when sliding on ice (i.e. if you fishtaled on ice, you would react the same way as with any other fishtail). However, it also occurred to me that I know next to NOTHING about how to deal with ice OR fishtailing in a rear wheel drive. Now, I don't have any plans for owning a rear wheel drive vehicle anytime soon, but I was curious if anyone had any pointers nonetheless.
