What causes rear end of car not want to turn when turning?
If effort is not given to steering wheel, front wheels also would not turn. When a turn is taken, no such effort is given to rear wheels for turning because the cars are usually front wheeled steered. So it is the inertia of the wheels and the car which causes the rear end of the car not want to turn when turning and they usually slip.

Do you have to disconnect the drive shaft on a 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL when towing?
N0...I don't know of any street car you have to do that to...unless you're trying to steal someone's driveshaft. I disagree with the above statement. The MB 450SL is, of course, a rear-wheel drive car. The rear wheels of a rear-wheel drive car are connected to the transmission via the driveshaft. When the rear wheels turn, the transmission is turning. If you tow the car for a short distance with the rear wheels on the ground, you should have no problem. However, if you tow the car for a long distance with the rear wheels on the ground, there is a good chance that you will damage the transmission. Removing the driveshaft means that only the rear wheels and rear axle will turn, so there is no chance of damage to the transmission. An alternative is to tow a rear-wheel drive car from the rear, so that only the front wheels will be turning during the tow. If you do this, you must lock the steering wheel, so that the front wheels will be locked in the straight-on position.
What is the advantage of rolling wheels over sliding wheels in an emergency?
Rolling wheels have more traction than sliding wheels. Thus you have more control. To illustrate; If you were in a turn and either locked the brakes or accelerated too fast the rear wheels loose traction and the rear of the car starts to pass the front of the car.

How do wheels rotate in a car?
A car wheel is attached to an axle. If the car is RWD, the rear wheel axle will be connected to the engine and the front wheels not be. In a 4WD or FWD car the front axle, with a ball joint to allow steering, will also be connected to the engine via a torque tube and a geared differential.
