Correct answer
Use the brakes in a coordinated and progressive way.
Use the brakes in a coordinated, progressive way, adapting pressure to grip and the moped’s system as specified in its manual. Do not deliberately lock a wheel. There is no rule always to brake with one hand: controls and combined systems vary. Correct action helps maintain control but cannot guarantee stability in every circumstance.
