When approaching a bend on a moped, if you need to reduce speed, what is the generally recommended technique?

Correct answer

Brake progressively before entering, with the vehicle upright.

Slow and brake progressively before entering, with the vehicle upright and stable. Enter at a suitable speed and avoid abrupt braking while leaned over. Holding the front brake to compress the rear suspension is not a general recommendation. If danger arises in the bend, respond smoothly according to conditions; do not interpret this advice as a ban on braking in every circumstance.
