No need to worry!
Just don't step on the throttle like mad, especially in low-speed corners or in the wet. There is no need at all to start your personal RWD career with a drift.
Start with VSC switched on... It's just a car.
The situation isn't different at all for new Mazda MX-5/Miata owners. So don't panic.
You will soon find out, how much fun a RWD car is - even without any drifts.
And keep in mind, even a weak FWD Civic can start to oversteer.
I will try to translate my little tutorial about handling oversteer and drifting for you guys. Just have a little patience, this isn't so easy for me. I am not a native speaker.
The other thing is:
What has caused unfortunately a bad accident for our poor friend "neutral" (because he did not have developed the steering reflex yet) is what other more trained driver do just to have some fun.
I have a similar very tight corner with bowldering instead of tarmac on my way home, and I love to take it sideways occasionally.... It can be SOOO much fun - once you learned how to handle it.
