It will not harm your brakes if you turn the wheel while braking.
Anti-Lock brake systems were designed in part to allow the vehicle to respond to steering input while under heavy breaking that would otherwise lock up the brakes. This is evidence that modern cars were designed to support braking and turning simultaneously.
Not considering anti-lock brakes, the problem with turning while braking is that some traction is being used to decelerate the car. Turning also requires traction. The tire can only provide a certain amount of traction that varies dependent on the materials and design of the tire. No matter the tire makeup, the more you turn, the less you can apply the brakes without causing a skid. Conversely, the more you brake, the less you will be able to turn a vehicle without causing a skid. The combined forces of the turn and braking will cause a vehicle to skid if they exceed the tires ability to keep its traction.
In summary, there should be no damage caused to your car by braking and turning simultaneously unless you crash by exceeding the traction limits of your vehicle.
Learn your car and its limits in a safe place in order to ascertain the maximum amount of braking and turning that your particular car can handle without losing traction.
Yes it is, You should never brake whilst cornering, brake whilst in a straight line before the bend, you should have light accelaration when cornering as this makes the vehicle more stable.
Bad drivers are unaware of this.
Modern cars with ABS were not designed to allow you to turn corners whilst braking but to keep you out of trouble if you are a bad driver and have made a mistake.

How do you adjust the brakes on a Kawasaki KLX 125?
On your rear brake, you will have a rod that runs from your rear brake pedal to the rear wheel. On the very back end of the rod, it is threaded and has a wing nut adjuster screw. Turn the wing nut a 1/2 turn at a time and try your rear brake. Keep adjusting until you have a good brake pedal. If you have the 125L you will have a disc brake at the front (no adjustment - just make sure your reservoir is full of brake fluid), but if you have the 125 with a drum brake at the front wheel, repeat the same process only you will have a cable instead of a rod at the front wheel.
What is the purpose of two brake pedals on a 318 john deere?
This is the same in most tractors,the left pedal is for the left brake and the right for the right one. If the tractor gets stuck you can apply the brake to the wheel that is spinning to force the wheel with more traction to turn.
Can you use your brake lights and turn signals at the same time?
There is essentially no restriction on using brake lights and turn signals at the same time, as they both signal actions/intentions that are often used in conjunction with one another. The brake light signals that you are using your brakes and slowing down, and the turn signal shows your intention to turn. As you will usually slow down as you come up to a turn, there will be many situations where both signals will be on at the same time.

What would cause front driver side wheel to growl on 1996 Saturn?
Worn brake pads or a defective wheel bearing. If it only growls under braking it is the pads. If it growls all the time and more so when making a turn it is the wheel bearing. Inspect your brake pads/rotor and wheel bearings if necessary.

How does the wiring run for a back right turn signal on a Plymouth voyager 1992?
the turn signal switch sends current to the turn signal flasher. it then goes to the bulb. The turn signal switch will turn on the turn signal and when the brake is applied it cancels out the brake light as it is a duel element bulb. 1 element is for brake and turn and the other is for parking lights. you can not have a blinker and a constant feed to the same element of the bulb at the same time.
