I know a Model A can be driven around corners in 3rd gear, but I sure don't. First of all, I don't like to go that fast around a corner most of the time, and second, downshifting to 2nd at 10-15 mph isn't really winding it up much.....I sure wouldn't call it driving the car "hard". Not sure if Marco will chime in here, but in the past he has mentioned that he does not go around corners in 3rd either. Unless you are very careful, I would tend to think going that slow in 3rd would be lugging it some..........
