Cevap
Braking while turning can easily lock the wheels and cause the vehicle to skid out of control.
When a driver steers sharply, the tires are using traction to change the vehicle's direction. Applying the brakes at the same time can easily lock the wheels. Once the wheels lock up, directional control is lost and the vehicle will skid straight or spin out of control.
