Buick Regal: Steering Tips
It is important to take curves at a reasonable speed.
Traction in a curve depends on the condition of the tires and the road surface, the angle at which the curve is banked, and vehicle speed.
While in a curve, speed is the one factor that can be controlled.
If there is a need to reduce speed, do it before entering the curve, while the front wheels are straight.
Try to adjust the speed so you can drive through the curve. Maintain a reasonable, steady speed. Wait to accelerate until out of the curve, and then accelerate gently into the straightaway.
