While in a turn, it is best to:

• A. Brake hard to slow down
• B. Accelerate suddenly
• C. Maintain a steady speed or gradually accelerate
• D. Stop completely

Answer: (C)

In a turn, you want to keep the bike balanced and the tires gripping the road by using smooth, steady speed. Maintaining a steady speed or gradually increasing it through the turn helps preserve the motorcycle’s traction and your line, so you don’t unsettle the bike or risk skidding. Braking hard during a turn shifts weight forward and can cause the front tire to lose grip, making steering uncertain. Accelerating suddenly shifts weight to the rear, which can break rear traction and push you off your intended path. Stopping completely while leaned is extremely risky and hard to recover from. So, a smooth, controlled throttle that maintains or gently increases speed through the turn keeps you stable and ready to exit smoothly.
