Should you accelerate when coming out of a bend?
Safe driving
Explanation
When exiting a curve, it is important to **accelerate smoothly** to regain the vehicle's stability. This is because curves are dangerous sections where a force can push the vehicle off its path.
- **Before entering the curve**, it is advisable to reduce speed and move closer to the right edge of the road.
- **Within the curve**, you should turn the steering wheel smoothly and avoid braking or accelerating abruptly.
- **When exiting the curve**, it is crucial to turn the steering wheel smoothly to return to a straight direction and gradually increase speed.
Accelerating smoothly when exiting the curve helps maintain control of the vehicle and avoids the risk of skidding, which can occur if you accelerate too quickly or drive at high speed. A skid can cause the tires to lose grip and the vehicle to veer off its path. Therefore, accelerating smoothly is the best way to ensure safe and stable driving when exiting a curve.
