Explanation
Slowing down before entering a curve or intersection reduces the risk of skidding on slippery surfaces. By reducing speed, your tires maintain better traction, lowering the chances of losing grip on the road. This also allows you more time to react and adjust your speed if a skid begins, helping you regain control more effectively.
