Question 1433

If you make a very tight turn on your motorcycle at a slow speed, what precaution should you take?

  1. At such a slow speed, no precautions are necessary.
  2. Do not use the front brake because the wheel could lock up and cause a fall.
  3. You must counteract the gyroscopic effect with your body weight.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Do not use the front brake because the wheel could lock up and cause a fall.

In a very tight turn at low speed, applying the front brake forcefully with the steering turned can cause a fall. You must therefore avoid braking this way.
