When you enter a curve too quickly and brake, what risk do you face?

Entering a curve too quickly and then applying the brakes creates a high risk of losing traction, which can lead to skidding. When a vehicle is in a turn, the forces acting on it change, and if the speed is excessive, the tires may not have enough grip on the road surface to maintain control. Braking while in a curve shifts the weight of the vehicle, potentially leading to a loss of adhesion between the tires and the road. This can result in the vehicle sliding out of the curve or losing stability, making option B the accurate answer.

Understanding this aspect of vehicle dynamics is crucial for safely navigating curves, particularly with a heavy trailer, where additional weight and momentum can exacerbate these risks. Controlling speed before entering a curve is essential for maintaining traction and ensuring safe handling.
