How is braking not deceleration?

Well, she certainly seems to follow everything by the book. I assumed that the slowing down by using the brakes was a form of deceleration. I guess in some strict definition of the word it might be considered incorrect.

But, the exercise did involve slowing down before making the turn. Our instructors didn't really care about the first turn...just the straight away, slowing, and making the 135 degree. No need to be so picky.
