Question: 1 / 400

You are in danger of hitting an object and need to swerve to avoid it. What is the best way to initiate a swerve?

Brake hard before swerving

Lean your body in the opposite direction

Apply a small amount of pressure to the handle of the side you are going to swerve to

When you are in danger of hitting an object and need to swerve to avoid it, the best way to initiate a swerve is by applying a small amount of pressure to the handle of the side you are going to swerve to. This action will help you shift your weight and steer the motorcycle in the desired direction while keeping the bike balanced. By applying pressure to the handle, you can initiate a controlled and effective swerve to avoid the obstacle safely.

Braking hard before swerving (option A) could cause your motorcycle to lose traction and potentially lead to a loss of control. Leaning your body in the opposite direction (option B) is not an effective way to initiate a swerve and may actually make it more difficult to steer the motorcycle. Closing your eyes briefly for focus (option D) is never a safe or recommended action while riding a motorcycle.
