Answer 1

Go into an empty parking lot. Put your car in drive, and accelerate to 25 miles per hour. Now turn the wheel. What happens? Your car turns in the direction you turned the wheel. No problem.

Now put your car in reverse, and accelerate to 25 miles per hour. Turn the wheel. What happens? Your whole car spins around to where you’re facing the direction of travel again.
