When approaching a corner, always, always, slow down and do not attempt to turn the corner at high speed. It is important to note that skidding can occur when you approach a corner. This will definitely occur if there are oil patch or sand on the road. If you notice oil patch or sand, do not panic. Hold your steering wheel firmly and turn the corner calmly, maintaining a constant speed.
Do not apply the brake when negotiating a corner as uneven application may cause the car to swerve. It is advisable that you keep to the left while cornering so as not to collide with any on coming vehicle. Take into account that some drivers approach a corner at high speed and hence their car may veer into your lane.
Maintain constant speed while negotiating the corner and slowly pick up as you get on the straight road.
