Slip-turn

Hi there! So, a slip-turn is what happens when a car turns but its back wheels slide a little bit instead of staying on the ground and rolling smoothly. Imagine you're playing with toy cars and you push one really fast around a sharp corner - it might slide a little bit and turn more than you expected it to. That's kind of what a slip-turn is like.

Now, slip-turns can happen on purpose, like if a race car driver wants to make a really sharp turn without slowing down too much, or they can happen by accident if someone is driving too fast or taking a turn too sharply. Slip-turns might look kind of cool because the back of the car swings out a bit, but they can also be dangerous and cause the car to spin out of control.

So, to sum up: a slip-turn is when a car turns but its back wheels slide a bit instead of rolling smoothly, and it can happen on purpose or by accident.
