Home › DMV Practice Tests › Texas › Motorcycle Permit Questions › Question 28
When making a slow, tight turn such as a U-turn, you should:
- A.Stare at the ground beside the motorcycle
- B.Keep all your weight pushing the motorcycle further into the lean
- C.Apply the front brake hard throughout the turn
- D.Turn your head to look where you want to go and use the friction zone for control
Correct answer
D. Turn your head to look where you want to go and use the friction zone for control
Why
At slow speeds, turn your head and look where you want to go, and control speed with the clutch friction zone. Looking down or grabbing the front brake can upset balance in a tight turn.
