Use a rear-wheel-drive car with good tires, working brakes, and enough power
Find a legal, empty, low-traction area such as a track or drift school
Wear a seat belt and use proper safety gear
Turn off unnecessary driver aids if appropriate for the vehicle and setting
Enter the corner at a controlled speed
Initiate oversteer with a clutch kick, handbrake pull, power over, or weight transfer
Countersteer immediately as the rear begins to slide
Modulate throttle to keep the rear wheels spinning
Balance steering, throttle, and brake inputs to hold the drift
Adjust your line and angle with small corrections
Straighten the wheel and reduce throttle to exit the drift smoothly
Practice only with professional instruction or on a closed course
