Okay student, now turn the accelerator and feather the accelerator as you accelerate into the curve, then press the accelerator to accelerate your acceleration out the curve.

“Accelerate… Decelerate” — Simon Phoenix

Is the window my frame of reference?

Acceleration is a change in velocity. When you press the gas pedal or brake, you feel positive or negative acceleration. When you turn the wheel, you feel sideways acceleration.

Another analogy is force: F=ma. You feel a force if you accelerate, brake, or turn the wheel; all three induce acceleration as defined in physics.

Breaking doesn't cause acceleration, it just causes damage.
