Question:

What is TRUE about downshifting?

A When you downshift for a curve, you should do so before you enter the curve.

explanation

Slow down to a safe speed, and downshift to the right gear before entering a curve. This lets you use some power through the curve to help the vehicle be more stable while turning. It also allows you to speed up as soon as you are out of the curve. [California Commercial Driver Handbook]
