To avoid a hazard, you need to both brake and swerve. How should you combine the two actions?
Correct answer: Brake either before the swerve or after it.
Answer options
- ARely on the front brake alone during the swerve
- BBrake hard at the same moment you swerve
- CBrake either before the swerve or after it Correct
Why
Braking and swerving should be separate actions, done in whichever order the situation demands. Braking in the middle of a swerve can make a tire lose its grip and put the motorcycle into a skid.
