yaw
Yaw is what happens when a car turns too much and starts to slide sideways. It's important for drivers to control yaw to avoid losing control of the vehicle.
Yaw refers to the rotation of a vehicle around its vertical axis, which can cause the car to slide or spin out if not controlled properly. It is an important concept in vehicle dynamics, especially during high-speed maneuvers.
