Yup, I agree with Binoy. The modern brake system use diagonally braking system. For fail-safe braking. Shifting to lower gears is the best option. But don't switch off your engine as your steering will be locked. 




I tried this and I had understeer, I tried that and I had oversteer, at the end of the corner I just ran out of talent!

Yes, but that will be too hard to steer.

-'hard to steer' and the quote in bold above are two different things.

Ofcourse it does. Doesn't it?

Turn turning the steering with just the key inserted. The steering will lock. ;)

Did you mean "just insert the key without turning on the battery"? I my car the steering locks if the key is removed...inserting the key unlocks it...
