drivers should get into the way of always releasing the brakes when actually turning a corner. The brakes are sufficiently powerful to retard the car before the corner is reached. To use the maximum braking turning a corner either on dry or wet roads is dangerous.

We suggest the last paragraph (C) might read :-

If the power of the 4-wheel brakes is abused by a careless or too sudden application, passengers may be pitched completely off their seats and may suffer bodily injury.
