All B licence questions · DGT question bank

On a motorcycle approaching a left bend, why may a position somewhat to the right within your own lane be useful, if surface and safety conditions allow?

Correct answer

To improve the safety margin and view, adapting position to conditions.

To improve the safety margin and view of the bend. Choose position for visibility, traffic and surface conditions, staying within your lane and clear of dirt, obstacles and the shoulder. It is not a duty to hug the edge or permission to enter opposing traffic. Adapt speed before entering and avoid abrupt inputs.
