BDifficulty 2/5

If, while riding a motorcycle, you cannot avoid a pothole in the road, which of the following is the most appropriate course of action?

Correct answer

Reduce speed before reaching it and keep the motorcycle as upright as possible while crossing.

Reduce speed before reaching it, under control, and keep the motorcycle as upright and straight as possible while crossing. Avoid abrupt avoidance manoeuvres that would create another danger. These measures can reduce impact and the risk of losing stability, but do not guarantee avoiding a fall or damage. If handling changes afterwards, stop safely and check for damage.
