What should you do when a gust of wind from a passing large truck pushes your motorcycle?
- A.Let go of the grips until the gust passes
- B.Lean hard toward the truck without looking ahead
- C.Keep a firm grip, stay relaxed in your arms, and adjust your lane position to counter the push
- D.Brake hard in the middle of the gust
Correct answer
C. Keep a firm grip, stay relaxed in your arms, and adjust your lane position to counter the push
Why
A firm grip and a deliberate lane-position adjustment help you hold your line through gusts and truck blasts. Staying loose in the shoulders while keeping control avoids overcorrections.
