AMDifficulty 1/5

When approaching a bend, if you need to reduce speed and there is no emergency, good technique consists of...

Correct answer

braking before entering the bend.

Reduce speed before entering, braking progressively while the vehicle is still following a straight course. Enter at a suitable speed and avoid abrupt braking in the bend, where tyres also need grip for cornering. This is not an absolute ban on braking in every bend: respond to hazards to avoid them, smoothly where possible.
