[QUOTE="AneroidOcean, post: 1179285, member: 4406"] Actually, swerving/braking at the same time is almost always a bad decision. The tire only has so much ability to do either. Your tires only have so much traction and when you turn you are using some amount of that in order for the car to change direction, complicated by the fact that the position/angle of the tire relative to the ground changes which in most cases is a decrease to the tire's contact patch/traction. This is why any driving school instructor will tell you that in order to come to a stop in the fastest manner you need to brake in a straight line without turning the wheel. There are some racing situations where braking and turning can be a strategy, but for the most part mixing the two is going to hurt you, not help you. [/QUOTE]
