I don't brake for curves. I either take them at speed, or am already slowing down enough to take the curve without braking. Try it - you get really good at "reading" the road surface and anticipating the curves' depth and angle.

It's mostly because other drivers suck, and after a few years, you start to see wear patterns in the road where they dive into a curve because they're braking while turning - a big no no.
