ELI5:How come when you drive backwards, your car tends to feel like it swerves more when you turn the steering wheel then when you are driving forward?

When you're going forwards, the back wheels follow the front wheels but a little "inside" of them.  That tends to counteract the steering action a little.  Going backwards it the opposite.  The steering wheels in the back will track "outside" of the leading wheels, tending to intensify the turn.

Also, the same geometry in the front suspension that helps the car go straight when going forward, by "self-centering" the steering wheel, makes the wheels want to turn MORE when going backwards.
