Question: When entering a curve you should:

Answer options:

• Brake in the curve ✅ Slow before the curve, accelerate gently through it
• Speed up entering
• Coast in neutral

Correct answer: Slow before the curve, accelerate gently through it

Explanation: Slowing down before entering a curve reduces the risk of skidding because it allows the tires to maintain optimal traction while steering. Accelerating gently through the curve stabilizes the vehicle by transferring weight to the rear wheels. Braking inside a curve is dangerous because tires cannot easily handle simultaneous braking and cornering forces, while coasting in neutral is illegal and eliminates engine control. Under ICBC rules, speed must always be adjusted before steering into a turn to maintain vehicle balance. On the Class 7 knowledge and road tests, demonstrating proper speed management before curves is essential for proving you can safely control a vehicle.
