Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / steering characteristics
English term or phrase: oversteered
I am backtranslating an Albanian translation about cars and traffic, where the author has used the word "mbipilotim" for "oversteered" (=oversensitive in curves), which doesn't make sense to me. I would be very happy for a good Albanian word, even for a confirmation of "mbipolitim" if it's correct. -- I also have "understeered" but I reckon it doesn't need a separate question.

tejprerje
Explanation:
Since this is about a characteristic of the car, not of the driver, then, in my opinion `tejprerje` is more adequate as it does not hint to any action made by a person/driver. It simply tells about a car characteristic.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Denis, but this is about a characteristic of the car, not of the driver. Normally it depends on a heavy tail.
