What action should a driver NOT take when driving through a curve?

When navigating through a curve, disengaging the clutch can lead to a loss of control over the vehicle. By disengaging the clutch, the driver is disconnecting the engine from the wheels, which can result in less power being delivered to the wheels. This loss of engine braking and control increases the risk of skidding, particularly on slippery surfaces or if the curve is sharp. Maintaining control is crucial while turning, and the clutch should remain engaged to ensure proper handling and stability.

In contrast, controlling speed, keeping both hands on the steering wheel, and accelerating out of the curve are critical actions for safe driving through a turn. Managing speed allows for better handling and minimizes the risk of losing grip. Keeping both hands on the steering wheel maximizes control, enabling the driver to respond quickly to any sudden changes in direction or road conditions. Lastly, accelerating out of the curve, when done appropriately, can help maintain traction and stabilize the vehicle as it exits the turn.
