Well applying the brakes hard on a bend, or lifting off the throttle on a bend normally induces what is known as "lift-off oversteer", where the back end lightens due to the centre of balance being thrown forward, caused by the effect of deceleration. If you aren't going in a straight line, this might cause the back tyres to lose grip and you will then be in an oversteer situation.
