I totally disagree with the whole "nature of RWD" sentiment. It is not the nature of RWD to be any more difficult too drive then any other car and I hate that this myth has developed. My mother drove performance Mustangs and T Birds for decades and never put one in a ditch. My Grandmother drove a 64 Galaxy powered by a 390 and never put it in a ditch (she would have smoked most of you guys by the way). That is on bias ply tires, single cylinder drum brakes, no power steering and not even the hint of a nanny onboard.
Bad driving has nothing to do with what wheels are moving the car it is attitude and experience that cause crashes like this. Probably 1,000 Civics end up like this to every 1 RWD car (Mustangs excluded for obvious reasons).
