What is the safest speed strategy for a curve?
A blue car approaches a left-hand curve on the right side of a two-way road. It remains on the straight approach before the road bends; a yellow centre line separates opposing traffic.
Correct answer: Slow before entering and avoid braking in the curve
Why
Choose a safe speed before entering a curve so you can normally follow it without braking. Use smooth steering and pedal inputs, especially on slippery or uneven roads, and keep responding to any actual hazard ahead.
