How do you safely negotiate a curve?

To safely negotiate a curve, it is essential to slow down before entering and guide through without making any sharp braking movements. This approach is crucial for maintaining control of the vehicle while navigating the curve. Reducing speed ahead of the curve allows for better handling and response to any potential hazards or changes in road conditions. It also helps to ensure that you stay within your lane and reduces the risk of skidding or losing control.

When you enter a curve too fast, the centrifugal force increases, which can lead to the vehicle losing traction. By slowing down beforehand, you can enter the curve at a manageable speed, which enables you to steer steadily and smoothly through the turn. It’s important to avoid sharp braking during the curve, as sudden changes in speed can destabilize the vehicle and increase the likelihood of an accident. Guiding through the curve helps maintain traction and balance, allowing for a safe passage through the turn.
