Question

When rounding a sharp curve, you should do which of the following?

I) Stay as far to the left of your lane as possible.
II) Brake in the sharpest part of the curve.
III)neither (I) nor (II)

Answer 1

When rounding a sharp curve, you should neither stay as far to the left of your lane as possible nor brake in the sharpest part of the curve.

Step-by-step explanation:

When rounding a sharp curve, you should do neither (I) nor (II).

Staying as far to the left of your lane as possible (option I) is not the recommended approach. Taking the inside path or cutting the corner allows race car drivers to take the curve at the highest speed, as depicted in Figure 6.29 and Figure 6.32.

Braking in the sharpest part of the curve (option II) can lead to loss of control and skidding. Instead, it is advised to reduce speed before entering the curve and maintain a steady speed throughout.
