Excerpt from FAST LANE Driving Manual (students can take home):

UNDERSTEER: THE LOSS OF TRACTION ON THE FRONT TIRES
A car understeers (or "pushes") when you turn the steering wheel and the car doesn't turn as much as you turned the wheel. In other words, the car has a tendency to go in a straighter arc due to the front tires losing their grip. Understeer may be caused by entering a turn too fast and/or turning in too late or too suddenly.

OVERSTEER: THE LOSS OF TRACTION ON THE REAR TIRES

A car oversteers (or is "loose") when, as you turn the steering wheel, the car wants to turn more. The rear end of the car begins to slide out due to the rear tires losing traction. Oversteer may be caused by letting off the accelerator while turning and/or braking into a turn, especially if either are done too severely. Severe braking, where the rear wheels lock up (remember under braking the rear tire patches become smaller), will cause a severe oversteer condition usually ending with the car spinning out.
