Decelerate in a bend/during a bend

Never decelerate in a curve. Alwasy accelerate while in the curve so as... For some reasn when driving down a winding road they always speak of how to drive thrugh a curve. I guess a bend is too sharp a curve for fancy driving? I suppose you could accellerate out of the

"During the curve" is used casually to refer to the time "while in the curve," as jemaasjr puts it.

"In the curve" seems to refer more to the place.

"Bend" isn't used much in US road racing. Perhaps it's more British. "I think he's round the bend." "Turn" is used frequently as a synonym for the noun, "curve."

"In the curve" sounds wrong to me.....

dimsumexpress"In the curve" sounds wrong to me..

Perhaps I am influenced by the fact that I rented a movie once that when through the details of how to be a race car driver. Done correctly, the drivers break hard enough that the car is sliding slightly going into a curve, and then they maintain the slight slide by accelerating out of the curve. Excep

Breaking - is destroying something.

Braking - is the process to decelerate a car

In everyday driving if you are going so fast that you have to continue to brake as you turn the wheels for a curve, you are very plainly risking your life. Things like the variable condition of the road surface and other traffic make it unacceptably hazardous. Also, if you do go into a skid, you'll need race car driver skills to get out of it.

Accelerating out of a curve is less hazardo

thank you all for the input

so in a nutshell

In the following sentence which would you use?

Don't acceletate in/on a curve/bend/turn.
Don't break in/on a curve bend/turn/curve.

How would you say it, diferent input please?

thank you

alc24Don't acceletate accelerate in/on a curve/bend/turn.
Don't break brake in/on a curve bend/turn/curve. I'd just caution that some of this "advice" is specious. Make sure you understand if it applies to a skilled road race

The links I posted in my last reply wasn't meant to discuss the driving technique. It was meant to show the use of "on a curve". I drive defensively, so I always decelerate (let up on the gas pedal).

This is what I understand:

A bend to me is a sharp turn; whereas a curve is more smooth and gradual.

Around the bend

On a curve

A turn is a change in dir

Hi, dim.

My intention was not to be critical. A dear friend of mine was once president of the New Hampshire (where Dartmouth is) Porsche club, and took part in many road races and hill climbs, etc. I recall an article he had published on the physics of powering out of a turn.

I was concerned about the juxtaposition of safe driving techniques and racing techniques - for exa
