also, understeer is easier to control in a panic situation. it's a natural reflex to freeze up and slam on the brakes when in panic mode making split second decision. it's counterintuitive and needs a lot of practice to countersteer, and avoid touching the brakes. it takes a much more experienced driver to deal with oversteer in an emergency. that's why most cars, even rwd cars, come from the factory with understeer dialed in.
