Question 8112
A good technique for taking a curve is...
- braking about halfway through the curve.
- holding the clutch down from halfway through the curve until you exit it.
- braking before entering the curve and accelerating gently as you exit it.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: braking before entering the curve and accelerating gently as you exit it.
Brake on the straight section before the curve, and enter it at the right speed and in the right gear. In the curve, keep your speed nearly constant and follow a smooth path, then straighten the steering and accelerate gently as you exit. Braking in the middle of a curve can lock the wheels and cause a skid.
