Once you lose rear grip at speed in a turn, what's the instinctive thing to do? let off the gas, also for some to brake, of course you don't brake because that will accentuate weight shift forward and you'll lose even more grip. But if you come off the pedals while over-steering, when you've already lost grip, you'll slow and bring back the rear grip.
That's the nice thing about front-engine rear drive. Mid-engine and rear-wheel drive are crazy, usually because when they lose grip they snap so fast.
Four wheel drive ? rules can be different.
Just to verify the technique for oversteer, research Vic Elford (Porsche Driving Handbook) his oversteer technique is called CPR, Countersteer, Pause, Recover.
