What should a driver do to prevent excessive speeding on a curve?

To prevent excessive speeding on a curve, the driver should slow down before entering the curve. Approaching a curve at a lower speed provides better control over the vehicle and minimizes the risk of losing traction or skidding. Curves can dramatically affect a vehicle’s handling, and taking them too quickly can lead to accidents. As the vehicle maneuvers around the curve, momentum can push the vehicle outward if speeds are too high, leading to potential hazards.

Entering a curve at a normal speed may not take the specific conditions of the road or the vehicle into account, which can be unsafe. Maintaining a consistent speed throughout the curve might not allow for necessary adjustments based on changing conditions, and speeding up once entering the curve is likely to increase the risk of losing control. Therefore, slowing down before entering the curve ensures safer and more stable driving through the turn.
