EnterYourName, In Australia, tailgating is driving too closely behind another vehicle. Fishtailing is as described above.

Trina M., Why not 'careful' in the first place ? Just saying !

Prankie, A friend had a new MG Midget and swerved on a gravel road in Owensville, M0. to try to hit a black cat, fish-tailed, lost all control and totaled it out. He now has two cats of his own and a Ford F-150. ChaChanges

fishtailing is easy when there is ice on the road

Tina M., same thing in a mustang. I braked under an overpass when someone cut me off to exit. I think I hit black ice dripping from the bridge. I was so shook up I put it in park briefly until I saw a car approaching and turned around. I was lucky!

this is a great explanation of how to control your vehicle. this could save lives.

Easy to do in the rain

Tina M., The only time it's ever happened to me was also in a Mustang. I believe it's due to the rear end of the vehicle, they easily "break loose". It was in the rain and was quite an experience. Had it not been 1 AM, I would have had a serious accident with oncoming traffic.

I once fishtailed in my Ford Mustang. I ended up facing oncoming traffic. Good thing it wasn't a very busy street. I was careful after that!

couldn't fishtail a Porsche 911. Loved that car so much, as much as an object could be lol

Fishtailing is also a common term in Canada to describe automotive skidding, especially on icy streets.

Player #deadly, called fishtailing in Australia too. Do it on purpose sometimes.😁
