Alabama Motorcycle Permit Practice Test

What is one thing you should avoid doing while swerving on a motorcycle?

Applying the rear brake Braking Turning the handlebars Leaning into the turn

Correct Answer:

Braking

Explanation:

Braking while swerving on a motorcycle is something that should be avoided because it can lead to a loss of control. When you apply the brakes, especially the front brake, while in a lean or during a swerve, it can cause the motorcycle to tip over, as the balance is disrupted. Instead, it's essential to maintain smooth control of the throttle and focus on using your body weight and steering to navigate the obstacle. Turning the handlebars and leaning into the turn are both necessary actions for maintaining balance and ensuring the motorcycle stays upright during a swerve. Using the rear brake, while not ideal, can sometimes be beneficial if done correctly and with caution, as it doesn't affect the balance as severely as the front brake would while leaning.
