Why does slowing down before a curve, rather than during it, help prevent skids in a combination vehicle?

Pick an answer

1. It lets the vehicle take the curve at a speed the tires can grip without adding braking force on top of the turning force
2. It has no real effect, since curves are equally risky at any speed
3. It only matters for the trailer's cargo, not for skid risk
4. Braking during the curve always provides better control than braking before entering it, regardless of speed
