What happens when you ease off the gas in a conventional rear-wheel drive vehicle?

• The front wheels brake harder than the rear wheels
• The brakes automatically engage
• The vehicle speeds up unexpectedly
• The engine acts as a brake, slowing the rear wheels
  Explanation:

  "With a conventional rear-wheel drive vehicle, when you ease off the gas, the engine acts as a brake to slow the rear wheels slightly. This slows the rear-end slide and gives time for the front end to catch up. When combined with steering, it will get the vehicle going straight again."
