When both braking and swerving must be done to avoid an unexpected hazard, a rider should:
Because you need adequate traction to swerve safely, you should not brake and swerve at the same time. Instead, if you approach a hazard that requires you to brake and swerve, you should perform one action and then the other.
- Perform one action, then the other.
- Perform both actions at the same time and apply extra braking pressure.
- Perform both actions at the same time, but mainly focus on swerving.
- Not perform either action.
