Motorcycle Test Flashcards

Use the controls in a way that produces maximum braking pressure at the front and rear brakes simultaneously without skidding either wheel.

It involves observing roadway warning signs, looking ahead for curves and elevation changes, predicting curve conditions, considering oncoming traffic, and noting road and surface conditions.

Smoothly and precisely use the controls; avoid getting too close to the center line in left-hand curves; avoid hard braking in a curve.

<p>It involves predicting potential obstacles, choosing appropriate speeds and gear, maintaining space in the lane, and planning an escape path.</p> Signup and view all the answers
