Fishtailing is a vehicle handling problem which occurs when the rear wheels lose traction, resulting in oversteer. This can be caused by low- friction surfaces (sand, gravel, rain, snow, ice, etc.). Rear-drive vehicles with sufficient power can induce this loss of traction on any surface, which is called power-oversteer .
fishtailing, where the vehicle yaws back and forth across the direction of motion. spin or spinout where a vehicle rotates in one direction during the skid. understeer and oversteer where front or rear wheels lose traction during cornering, causing a vehicle to follow a larger or smaller turning radius.

This is what is happening when a car 'spins out'. A car susceptible to being loose is sometimes known as 'tail happy', as in the way a dog wags its tail when happy and a common problem is fishtailing. In real-world driving, there are continuous changes in speed, acceleration (vehicle braking or accelerating), steering angle, etc.
The trick is to unwind the wheel *before* the car straightens out (or even apply 'counter-counter steering'): to do this right a driver needs to have some prior practice, I don't think it can be done by someone who did not experience this situation before unless they have a *lot* of luck. Also: fishtail occurs in all cars, not just RWD ones.
