How do you experience a "tank slapper" in a car?

First off, a tank slapper is an event that motorcycles can experience when the front suspension of the motorcycle is unloaded during a corner, and the front tire hits a rough road irregularity, that gets transmitted through the front forks, which then causes the handlebars to oscillate uncontrollably, thus the handlebars are repeatedly hitting the tank.

There's nothing (that I know of) that can cause the front tires of a car to go repeatedly lock to lock on its own.

Did you just simply have the back end of your car step out from behind you on a sharp curve?

BC.
