As you approach the center of a turn, what should you do?

Speed up
Maintain your position
Move towards the inside of the curve
Brake sharply

The correct answer is: Move towards the inside of the curve

As you approach the center of a turn, moving towards the inside of the curve is the ideal action for maintaining control and balance on your motorcycle. This maneuver helps to lower the motorcycle's center of gravity and align your body weight with the bike, allowing for better handling through the turn. By positioning yourself closer to the inside of the curve, you can navigate the turn more effectively, reducing the risk of going wide or losing traction. Maintaining your position might not give you the necessary control as you negotiate the curve, and speeding up could lead to instability and difficulty in managing the turn. Braking sharply right before or during a turn can upset the balance of the motorcycle, potentially leading to loss of control. Therefore, moving towards the inside of the curve offers the best opportunity for a safe and stable turn.
