Motorcycle Permit Practice Test

Rolling on the throttle through a turn will

1. Slow down the motorcycle

2. Help stabilize the motorcycle

3. Prevent the motorcycle from turning

4. Increase the chance of a skid

The correct answer is: Help stabilize the motorcycle

Rolling on the throttle through a turn will help stabilize the motorcycle. This is because applying gentle throttle throughout the turn transfers weight to the rear wheel, providing more traction and stability. By doing so, the motorcycle becomes less likely to lose traction or tip over during the turn. It is essential to maintain a smooth and steady throttle control to navigate turns safely and efficiently. Option A is incorrect because rolling on the throttle will not slow down the motorcycle. Options C and D are incorrect as rolling on the throttle does not prevent the motorcycle from turning and, when done correctly, will not increase the chance of a skid.
