I think 100% percent of us know the difference between under and oversteer, but thanks anyways.

Jeremy Clarkson penned that line in his book "I know you got soul" when talking about the Alfa Romeo 166.

Understeer can also be controlled

Braking and lifting off the throttle allows you to control your amount of understeer.

Unless you are in a mid/rear engine car. Lifting off in a Boxster induces oversteer.

Lifting off in my Golf also induces oversteer.

You can call it balancing out.
