The driver passing wind, or driving through a cross wind. as per previous answer the higher, or the square er the car more likely to drift.

Mechanical problems noted in previous answers car would drift at low speed as well.

The camber(slant) of the road.
Black ice.
Physics.
Bad tyres.
Bad driving.
Swerving quickly.
Oil or some liquid, or gravel on the road.

It's probably your alignment. You should get that checked out, it causes really bad wear on your tires.


John S
High winds, especially with high sided vehicles or old VW beetles.


Jack Edwards
Maybe if you're in a barrel.
