Car Control is definitely best practiced in a controlled in a controlled environment. Having said that, here are some bits of what I've learned:

Skip Barber has a pretty decent way of teaching how to handle oversteer. Bobby Ore has a MUCH better way!

Bobby teaches you to release the steering wheel as you initially hit oversteer. I know, it sounds scary, but it works. An unattended wheel will generally correct itself quicker and more accurately than with someone sawing away at it. As the wheel finds its "sweet spot" in the slide, gently grasp it with your fingertips to coax it to where you want.

It's really quite a religious experience and you should try his course at Camarillo Airport. Go to bobbyoresports.com. It's a fraction of Skip Barber or Bondurant, plus you learn how to slide a car sideways into a tiny parking space!!!
