What is an important action to take when approaching a curve?

Reducing your speed when approaching a curve is crucial for maintaining control of your vehicle and ensuring safety. Curves can present challenges such as limited visibility and changes in road conditions. By slowing down, you allow yourself more time to react to any unexpected obstacles that may appear and help prevent skidding or losing control as your vehicle travels through the turn.

Maintaining the same speed, while tempting, can lead to understeering or oversteering, especially if the curve is sharp. Changing lanes quickly could create risks for other drivers and yourself, particularly in a curve where visibility is compromised. While turning on your headlights is always good practice when visibility may be low, it doesn’t specifically address the need to adjust your speed for the curve itself. Therefore, reducing your speed is the best action to take for safe navigation through curves.
