Riding Skills (Braking/Swerving/Turning)

Before making a quick swerve, the most important visual action is to:

  • A.Look down at your hands to confirm your grip
  • B.Look toward the clear escape path, not at the obstacle
  • C.Close one eye to judge distance better
  • D.Look in the mirror throughout the swerve
Correct answer

B. Look toward the clear escape path, not at the obstacle

Why

You steer toward where you look, so your eyes must lead the swerve toward open space. Fixating on the obstacle makes it more likely you will ride into it instead of around it.
