How would we pass a road obstacle while riding a motorcycle?
- Accelerate and quickly cross the obstacle.
- Brake by shifting to neutral gear until we finish crossing the obstacle.
- Correct answer: Slow down before the obstacle.
- Avoid braking and continue driving normally.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down before the obstacle.
Before an obstacle such as a pothole, bump or speed hump, slow down in good time so you cross it at low speed and in full control. Avoid braking while actually on the obstacle, as this upsets the motorcycle's stability. Shifting to neutral removes engine braking and reduces control, and speeding up raises the risk of losing control.
