What is the correct approach when driving through a curve?

When driving through a curve, the best approach is to slow down before entering the curve and maintain that speed throughout the turn. This allows for better control of the vehicle, as steering becomes more predictable and stable when you are not applying the brakes during the curve.

Braking heavily during a curve can cause the vehicle to lose traction, increase the risk of skidding, and make steering more difficult. Maintaining a steady speed helps to stabilize the vehicle as it navigates the turn. Changing gears mid-curve can also disrupt the vehicle's balance and may lead to complications in traction, particularly if the road surface is wet or slippery.

By slowing down beforehand, you allow yourself enough time to assess the curve and safely navigate it without the additional challenge of managing speed changes or braking during the turn. This technique enhances safety and control, especially in larger vehicles that may have different dynamics compared to standard cars.
