This is mostly interesting when this can be done on purpose and is not limited to slick surfaces. Such as doing handbrake turn or a car sliding out of control from violent turns.

Although this is a common part of certain car sports, this can also be done with airplanes (via supermaneuverability) as well as spacecraft and watercraft (mainly with PWCs).

Drifting is a required component of Newtonian physics in space flight simulators.
