A couple of tips for driving (they work for me at least):
1) If you're driving in a straight line and wanna slow down quickly, slam the e-brake and the normal brake at the same time. Don't try to steer while doing this though (unless you really know what you're doing).
2) Slamming just the e-brake before a corner and then releasing it just as you steer, will usually (it takes some practice) turn the car perfectly for a 90 degree corner. this really depends on the car, the condition of the car, the weather...
3) The proper (but often slower way) is to always brake (with the regular brake) before taking a corner. Just like it's not a good idea to brake while cornering in real life, it's the same here. The motto here is slow in, fast out. Basically, brake enough so you can take the corner nicely and then accelerate when you touch the apex of the corner. With rear wheel drive cars this will cause it bit of a power slide which (if need be, often the car will stabilise itself) you can correct this with some opposite lock. Again, it's all about balance. You don't want to steer in the opposite direction too much because you'll just spin out.
All of these things are actually quite similar to how real cars drive (when you're pushing them). But most people won't really encounter these sorts of situations (driving on the limit and all that) in real life.
