BDifficulty 2/5

With tyres in suitable condition, what loss-of-control risk can increase when braking abruptly while taking a bend?

Correct answer

The vehicle may skid.

It can increase skidding risk by demanding grip for braking and turning at the same time. Adapt speed before entering the bend and avoid abrupt brake and steering inputs. Grip also depends on tyres, suspension and road conditions. Necessary emergency braking must follow the vehicle system; do not delay it by assuming braking on bends is prohibited.
