even if you know your vehicle can maneuver a sharp curve at the legal speed limit. you should still slow down because:
A - you must legally drive below the speed limit on sharp curves
B - the strong inward pull on your vehicle can be dangerous
C - there may be a stalled car or accident ahead that you can't see

Thanks.

Answer is C.
While driving at lower than limit speed is recommended by law in many countries for special curcumstances, it is not required.
Inward pull provided with your tires just compensates for your vehicle being pushed outward by inertia when turning.

C. For sure, you do not have to drive below the speed limit for a curve, unless specifed at curve. The inward pull is not strong enough to be dangerous, just as long as you are doing the speed limit.
You never know what could be happening around a corner so its always best to slow down for this reason, not only need to worry about accidents or stalled car but wild animals, like deer for an example or a bear.

A. Depending on where you live you may have to slow down, in Texas, unless there is a posted limit less then the road speed limit, then you can go the speed limit.

B. The pull is outward not inward, Newton's 1st Law of Motion, an object in motion will want to remain in motion at the same speed and direction.

C. Is the most appropriate answer.
