There's no reason for her to need to know how to control a car swerving or sliding sideways in a normal driving situation. The only people that do that are either auto-crossing or doing drift competitions.
I don't know how bad of a driver your gf really is, but if she's considered unsafe just because she can't "drift", that's a pretty flawed point of view.
I can't even imagine ANY traffic scenario under ANY weather condition that controlling a car going sideways is necessary to avoid an accident. If you just control your car distance and drive at an appropriate speed, there would never be any incident where your car is spinning out of control in the first place.
You're just some guy that wants to teach your gf how to do some stunt driving, but it has absolutely nothing to do with trying to help her improve her safety.

I think it would be an important thing for her to know how to countersteer and recover a potential spin, especially with a rwd. Could happen at normal driving speeds if she hits a patch of black ice and has the throttle on in a turn. Of course the G35 has traction control I believe so it should save her in most situations.

Its VERY important to know how to control and recover a car from an unexpected sideways situation. The best way to learn that is thru building confidence thru doing it.

Yeah but as I said in my prev post, she needs to do this in a controlled environment like autox. Until then, try to make sure she is not exposed to the environment or get her a beater fwd car to drive in the meantime/ take the bus

I somehow see a thread coming about how a girl who was 'drifting' put a car into a post or other somehow stationary item.
