@Tech_Dreamer he's good you know

DUDE , Had a hard time describing what drifting to a relative of mine who had no idea what it was .  blurted out 'driving sideways on a road' . how do you even describe it properly?

Describing drifting in a nutshell? Show them Tokyo Drift :3

I describe drifting just like you said surprisingly, but I also added...

"If you want to go right, turn your steering wheel to the left. Vice versa."

Lucky me my mate had got that from the movie "Cars" reference.

Of course he didn't get it the first time, he had to watch me drift and I also gave him some videos just to get the rough idea.

I also told him that drifting was all about feeling and emotion, technique is definitely important, but from my experience....

When I drift my car feeling scared, I won't drift beautifully. When I drift my car feeling angry, I tend to hit something (cone, curb, etc.).
