What must you do with your speed when you make a turn at an intersection like this one?

Answer options

Why

Reducing speed for a turn keeps the vehicle stable and easy to steer and gives you time to spot pedestrians and other traffic. Taking a turn at the same or a higher speed makes it much easier to lose control.
