Should You Brake When Turning in an Automatic Transmission Car?

[ReedLee]

Whether to brake when turning in an automatic transmission car mainly depends on the speed. If the speed is high, you must apply the brakes, and in most cases, braking should be done before entering the curve to reduce speed. Waiting until you are already in the curve to brake and decelerate is somewhat late. If the speed is not high, you can avoid braking as long as safety is ensured. Using the brakes less can extend the lifespan of the brake pads. It's important to learn how to flexibly control the accelerator. If you feel the speed is too high, first release the accelerator to let the vehicle slow down. If the speed still feels excessive, promptly apply the brakes. Practicing this habit over time can significantly increase the lifespan of the brake pads.
