Which of the following is NOT a recommended action when driving through curves?

Brake to lock wheels and cause a skid
Be in a gear that allows slight acceleration
Don't exceed posted speed limits
Maintain a steady speed if the curve is gentle

The correct answer is: Brake to lock wheels and cause a skid

The correct answer is A, as it is not advisable to brake in a way that locks the wheels and creates a skid when navigating through curves. Locking the wheels can lead to a loss of control, increasing the risk of an accident. Being in a gear that allows for slight acceleration is important because it helps maintain stability and control of the vehicle while navigating the curve. Remaining aware of and adhering to the posted speed limits ensures that you are traveling at a safe speed for the specific conditions of the road. Maintaining a steady speed on gentle curves helps manage the vehicle's balance and traction. Each of these actions contributes to safe driving through curves, while the first option undermines those principles by risking a loss of control.
