BDifficulty 2/5

When driving a manual-transmission car, a good technique for taking a bend in normal conditions is...

Correct answer

Adapt speed before entry and accelerate gently on the exit if safe.

Adapt speed and select the gear before entry, braking smoothly if needed. Maintain a smooth line and controls through the turn; when the exit is visible and it is safe, progressively straighten and accelerate gently without exceeding limits. Do not coast with the clutch depressed through the bend or routinely wait until halfway through to brake. Do not accelerate throughout the turn without regard to grip and visibility.
