Home › DMV Practice Tests › Pennsylvania › Motorcycle Permit Questions › Question 30
An obstacle appears so close that you do not have enough distance to stop in time. The best option is usually to:
- A.Lock both brakes and slide
- B.Swerve around it without braking during the swerve
- C.Close your eyes and hold the bars loosely
- D.Speed up and ride directly over it at an angle
Correct answer
B. Swerve around it without braking during the swerve
Why
When stopping distance is not available, a swerve can change your path faster than you can stop. Swerve with firm grip presses and do not brake until the bike is upright again.
