One: letting off the throttle when you see you are going too wide. This causes the rear of the car to rotate more, causing the car to take a narrower line, or shooting the car into a spin and avoiding the curb altogether. Can also be achieved by holding (not slamming) the brakes mid-drift.
Two: Taking the turn at a slower speed to become aclimated to the cars reaction to throttle and steering input,and weight shifting techniques, then work your way faster. Simply put: more practice.

and you did a very good job of that hehehe
but dang, that sucks so bad for those people...that really wasnt there night eh?
like love, we all try, and sometimes try to hard
sometimes you just need to let yourself flow and dont try to hard....calm down in the drivers seat,
I like to think of drifting as making love with the car.....
1: you may like it rough.....but you will last longer doing it slow and smooth.
2: the conditions have to be right, the lighting....mood etc...
3: have confidence, dont think to second guess, JUST DO IT...
and most of all, love you car, if you realy love your car you wont throw it into a drift you will caress her into a drift and gently slide her out of it.....and the car just wants more...
you only live once, so make sure you live it right....
