To maintain vehicle stability and safety, is it correct to accelerate when starting to exit a curve?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Yes, but gently and progressively. As a general driving rule, cornering follows the principle: 'Slow in, fast out'. Before the curve: You must brake and downshift if necessary. During the curve: Maintain a constant speed. On exit: As the driver begins to straighten the steering wheel, gentle acceleration should be applied. Why is this beneficial? This gentle acceleration transfers weight to the rear, improving the grip of the drive wheels and assisting the vehicle's traction, which stabilizes the trajectory and counteracts centrifugal force. Common mistakes: Continuing to brake: Dangerous because it destabilizes the vehicle and can cause oversteer (the rear end sliding out). Maximum acceleration: This would break tire traction, causing a skid or running off the road.
