What determines the best position for a motorcycle within a lane?
- A.Always riding in the exact center over oil deposits
- B.Always riding on the far left edge of the lane
- C.Choosing the position that gives you the best view and makes you most visible, and adjusting as conditions change
- D.Never changing position once you pick one
Correct answer
C. Choosing the position that gives you the best view and makes you most visible, and adjusting as conditions change
Why
There is no single best lane position for every situation; adjust to see and be seen, avoid hazards, and protect your space. Oil and debris often collect in the center, especially near intersections.
