If a motorcyclist cannot avoid a road hazard, how should they proceed over it?
When a motorcyclist cannot steer clear of an obstacle on the road, the safest method is to reduce speed and approach the object at nearly a perpendicular angle, as close to 90 degrees as achievable. This approach distributes the impact evenly and decreases the likelihood of losing balance or control, enhancing safety by allowing the tires to roll over the obstacle rather than slipping.
