BDifficulty 2/5

How should the accelerator be handled on a bend to avoid destabilising the vehicle?

Correct answer

Smoothly, adapting it to road layout and grip.

Smoothly, according to speed, road layout and grip. Adapt speed before entry and avoid abrupt acceleration, steering or braking changes. Accelerating does not itself increase grip: demanding too much of the tyres can cause loss of adhesion. Smooth driving reduces risk without guaranteeing no skid.
