Correct answer
Cross as upright as possible while maintaining a safe path within the lane and using smooth controls.
Reduce speed beforehand and avoid abrupt manoeuvres. Keep the motorcycle as upright as possible while following a safe path within your lane. Minimising lean and using smooth inputs helps limit grip demands but does not guarantee avoiding a fall. Do not keep it completely upright if that prevents following a bend and takes you out of your lane. Using only one brake does not guarantee avoiding a skid; apply controls appropriately for conditions and manufacturer guidance. If you cannot continue under control, seek a safe alternative.
