How to slow down when the speed is too fast in an S-curve?

Pay attention to the position of the car's front and try to drive in the middle. When preparing to enter, be mindful of your speed and avoid going too fast. Do not move the steering wheel. When the left corner of the car touches the left line of the second curve, straighten the steering wheel by one turn and 45 degrees. At this point, let the car move slowly for a while.
Over the years of driving, I've encountered numerous situations where the speed was too fast in S-curves, usually due to unfamiliar roads or distractions. If the speed suddenly increases in a curve, I immediately release the accelerator pedal to let the engine naturally slow down the car, which is a gentle deceleration method. Then, I lightly press the brake pedal to control the speed reduction, avoiding sudden braking that could cause tire lock-up or loss of vehicle control. During the turn, it's crucial to keep the steering wheel steady and focus on the exit direction without hastily changing lanes. Most importantly, develop the habit of anticipating road conditions in daily driving, such as slowing down to a safe speed before entering an S-curve, especially during rainy or snowy conditions when the road is slippery. It's advisable to regularly check the condition of the vehicle's tires and brake system to ensure they function properly in critical moments. Safety should always come first; never take risks just to save a few minutes.
