Do you speed up or slow down when turning?

Why do my tires skip when I turn?
Tire scrubbing occurs at low speeds, higher steering angles, and colder weather, which may produce an odd noise and noticeable vibration when you first press the accelerator and turn your wheelbase at a sharp angle. The tire is “scrubbing” or physically skipping laterally when the wheels are turned.
What should your speed be when turning?
Generally the ideal speed at the apex of a right turn is 10-15 MPH. The ideal speed in the middle of a left turn is usually 15-20 MPH. The ideal turn speed will vary depending on the width of the road, degree of the turn and weather conditions, but the speeds stated above will be accurate about 85-90% of the time.

Why does my car shudder at slow speed turns?
Transmission fuel was changed at 22,000 and 51,000 miles. Shudders when sharply turning wheels and reversing, using accelerator at 1mph. Also, shudders a little less so, upon braking from 40mph to 0mph. Dealership wants to change transmission fuel, but what else could it possibly be?
When to turn right at a stop sign?
If you’re talking about turning right on stop signs & red lights, then more often than not you may need to proceed at a walking speed/slow motion (after you’ve stopped of course) until you can see that it’s safe to turn (since you’re at the stop sign you have to look for other traffic before you turn right, right?)
