When you come to a sharp curve in the road when should you brake?

You should begin to brake before you reach the sharp curve, ideally while you are still on the straight section of the road. This allows you to reduce your speed adequately and maintain control as you enter the curve. Braking too late, while in the curve, can lead to losing traction and possibly skidding. Always assess the curve's sharpness and road conditions to determine the appropriate speed before entering.
