I think your best place to LEARN is in a lightly snow covered area (if available) or on a low or no populated dirt road your familiar with, do that until your comfortable with your car and then move up from there.

Although i can say that a track would be better, but not everyone has access to a track.

Sliding on ice or snow is completely different from drifting. It has already been said if you can't go to a track then don't drift. A car park that is empty of cars may still have pedestrians on it. People on their bikes or rollerskating or just some drunk people stumbling home from the pub. No matter how safe you think it is to drift in a car park IT ISN'T.. It's just down right dangerous and inconsiderate towards others.....

yes drifting in a pubic space is very dangerous not to mention illegal. I worked out an agreement with a local community center to use their huge parking lot in the rear for drifting. the only terms are that they cant be held responsible for loss or injury, we must claim/repair any damages to the lot (excluding tire marks =P) and to complete block off the parking lot so that poeple driving by cannot come in and join and so that bystanders are a safe distance from the cars should anything happen. thats where myself and a few buds practice our drifting.
