Curve Tips

  • Take curves at a reasonable speed.
  • Reduce speed before entering a curve, while the front wheels are straight.
  • Adjust speed so you can drive through the curve. Maintain a reasonable, steady speed.
  • Wait until out of the curve before accelerating gently into the straightaway.
