If traction begins to break in a curve, what should you do?
Correct answer: Ease off the accelerator and steer smoothly without braking
Why
For the curve-related loss of traction described by ICBC, ease off the accelerator and avoid braking. Keep steering smooth and gently reapply power once traction returns. Entering the curve at a suitable speed is the better prevention.
