Okay, if you're a good driver, can you explain this to me? Is it true what they said on the movie Cars where they're talking about how when you go fast enough, you turn a hard right to go left because of the friction involved (drifting). Is this scientifically valid, or is it just something the movie made up? I really can't tell!

It can be done

If there is enough friction on the front tires with it's forward momentum as the wheel is turned to the right, it could cause the car to go into a tailspin with the rear of the vehicle swinging to the right, causing the car to pivot to the left, but it's very unlikely to happen, and it would help greatly if you had already cut the wheel to the left just prior (drifting), or if you were going in reverse.

Well, if you turn the steering wheel right for long enough... you make a complete U-turn and go left.
That's pretty much what happens with the drifting as well, minus the U-turn. It's more like a 270 degree flip n whatnot.

Well, I guess if you were going fast enough and turn a sharp right, you would spin around and go left. Good Question.

yep you can
when you skid on ice you turn into the skid to make it go the other way
so you can turn right to go left
