How should you position the motorcycle to stop safely on a curve?

  1. Parallel to the road

  2. At a 45-degree angle

  3. Make the motorcycle perpendicular to the surface of the road

  4. Brake suddenly

The correct answer is: Make the motorcycle perpendicular to the surface of the road

When stopping on a curve with a motorcycle, it is important to keep the motorcycle perpendicular to the surface of the road. This position gives you the most stability and control over the bike while coming to a stop, reducing the risk of skidding or losing control. Placing the motorcycle parallel to the road or at a 45-degree angle can lead to instability and may cause the bike to tip over. Braking suddenly is also not recommended as it can cause the wheels to lock up and skid, resulting in a loss of control. Therefore, making the motorcycle perpendicular to the surface of the road is the safest and most effective way to stop on a curve.
