I think that RB above has got it pretty much nailed, on the road you dont really try to explore the limits of your tyres on purpose - it just happens sometimes and then this is always 99% unplanned. I find that letting go of the throttle can cause more grief than keeping it pinned (not Moto-GP style
) and riding through it. When its wet you can easily crack the throttle open, let the back spin up and then ride it out if in a straight line, although I would not try these kind of heroics mid-corner in the wet
RWD cars are another matter, I cant exit a round-a-bout in my old Hilux without having an 'accidental' slide
