What should you do as you approach a curve in the road?

As you approach a curve in the road, it is important to reduce your speed before entering the curve. This action is crucial for maintaining control of the vehicle and ensuring your safety as you navigate the turn. Curves can often be deceptive in terms of how sharp they are, and decreasing your speed ahead of time allows for better handling and reduces the risk of skidding or losing control.

By approaching the curve at a lower speed, you can more effectively respond to any changes in the road conditions, such as wet surfaces or debris. Moreover, reducing your speed enhances your ability to steer smoothly through the curve, which is especially important in preventing accidents.

Choosing to come to a complete stop is unnecessary and could be unsafe in many situations, while maintaining your current speed may not provide adequate control. Accelerating before entering a curve can lead to oversteering and potential loss of control, making it crucial to prioritize speed reduction for safe navigation.
