When should the driver use the brakes when turning?

Sudden braking
Gentle braking
Moderate braking
No braking

The correct answer is: Gentle braking

When turning, the driver should use gentle braking to control the speed and trajectory of the vehicle. Sudden braking can cause the tires to lose traction and potentially lead to a loss of control. Moderate braking may also impact the vehicle's stability while turning. No braking should be avoided as it does not provide any means of controlling the vehicle's speed and could result in a collision. Gentle braking is the safest and most effective option when making turns.
