While drive at 72 mph on a straight, dry interstate, I moved my seat backward. Somehow during the process, I must have turned the steering wheel. Because the car began to fishtail. For several seconds the car fishtailed, while I held the wheel steady until it returned to normal steering. I have been driving for over half a century and never had a car fishtail on me before. I feel that what happened to me was not normal and is unsafe.
