Correct answer: They may drift into another lane by accident.
Answer options
- AThey will keep much better control of the motorcycle
- BThey may drift into another lane by accident Correct
- CThey will save time without adding any risk
Why
With too much speed, the motorcycle may be unable to hold its path through the turn and gets carried toward the outside, where it can cross into another lane or leave the road. Do your slowing before you lean into the turn rather than braking sharply in the middle of it.
