Nice link but learnt???? ummmm "learned" They are also basing this on I assume a front wheel drive car. Not all cars these days are front wheel drive....mine is still rear wheel which doesn't help me at all. Good site for new drivers nonetheless.

Oversteer and understeer are conditions any vehicle can have, from the smallest to the largest rigs on the road regardless of weight. Too much speed in a curve and you are in trouble if you do not know how to control it.

Oversteer can be fun if you are capable of "drifting" but that is not something you wish to practice on the highways. Your licence can suffer greatly and so can your body work.

(I haven't seen them all)

But not if they are basing it on the BMWs which are all rear wheel drive.

Learnt is more common in British English, and learned in American English. There are a number of verbs of this type (burn, dream, kneel, lean, leap, spell, spill, spoil etc.). They are all irregular verbs, and this is a part of their irregularity.

Yes learned has quite a differrent meaning in the UK, pronounced learn-ned it is usually put before, for example a 'person' to signify that they are an expert or well read on a particular subject. Unfortunately, we are separated by a common language!
