Acceleration and velocity are both vectors dude, they have magnitude and direction. Acceleration is a change in velocity over time, so if you're moving and you change directions, that constitutes a change in velocity, i.e. an acceleration.
Hell, Newton's second law: F=ma. Your car isn't going to change mass appreciably mid-corner, so we can say that the force you feel is proportional to your acceleration. Did you feel yourself turning? Felt your ass slide and body lean? You feel you experience a force, an acceleration.
This concept is foundational to elementary mechanics, you cannot pass physics 1, calculus 1, or I think even college algebra without knowing these concepts.
