Braking on a curve has no different effect at all than braking on a straight, flat stretch of road
It only matters for vehicles without ABS

Correct answer to question 110 (Combination Vehicles): Braking and cornering forces combine, using up available tire traction faster and increasing skid risk

Why

Braking and cornering both draw on the same limited pool of tire traction, so combining them, especially with a full load, uses up that traction faster and raises the risk of a skid.
