It didn't for me on Christmas Day, parked in a supermarket car park (which was empty) to go for a meal in a pub next door) when coming back decided to floor it 0-50 in said car park, the back end stepped out so much I banged my head on the drivers door window, any harder and I'd have knocked myself out!

And no, no alcohol was consumed
