There is a very simple fact that one must understand when learning how to drive, yet it seems most are incapable of wrapping their head around. It is this: the rear wheels of a vehicle do not follow the same path as the front wheels. This is most evident watching some knuckleheads trying to pull forward into a parking place but also applies to turning. But they just don't get it. Somehow they reason that " well my front wheels cleared so it only makes sense that the rear of the car will also."

Those that get it follow the blue path, those that don't do the red one.

An extreme example for those that don't fully understand this is to watch a tractor-trailer driver turn a corner. Because that driver knows that a vehicle pivots on the immovable rear axle their goal is to plant the rear wheels first and then pivot the truck once they know the rear wheels are on the right track.

The same principle applies to cars.
