What should you avoid doing when approaching a curve?

When approaching a curve, it is important to maintain control of your vehicle. Braking suddenly can upset the balance of the vehicle and may lead to skidding or loss of control, especially in large commercial vehicles that have different handling characteristics compared to standard cars. The weight distribution and momentum of a heavy vehicle can result in longer stopping distances and increased difficulty in maneuvering. Thus, a smooth and gradual approach to slowing down allows for better vehicle stability and safer navigation through the curve. Proper technique when approaching a turn entails reducing speed before entering the curve and then maintaining that speed while navigating through it.
