When you slow a car and turn corner what are doing?

When you slow a car and turn a corner, you are performing two independent actions:

1. Slowing down: This is done by gradually reducing the car's speed by pressing the brake pedal. The purpose of slowing down is to reduce the car's momentum, which is necessary for safely making a turn. If you were to make the turn at a higher speed, there would be a risk of the car losing traction and skidding out.

2. Turning: This is done by turning the steering wheel in the desired direction. The purpose of turning is to change the direction of the car's movement. The amount you turn the steering wheel will determine how sharp or wide the turn will be.

It's important to coordinate these two actions smoothly in order to make a safe and controlled turn. As you approach the corner, you should gradually slow down while also turning the steering wheel. The speed at which you turn should be proportional to the sharpness of the turn. As you complete the turn, you can gradually increase the car's speed again.
