When making a very tight turn with your motorcycle at a speed of 30 km/h, what can happen if you squeeze the front brake hard while making the turn?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When making a very tight turn, the motorcycle is leaning and balance is more delicate. If the front brake is squeezed hard in this situation, it is very likely that the front wheel will lock. Locking the front wheel during a curve causes an immediate loss of grip and directional control. As a direct consequence, the motorcycle will slip and an almost inevitable fall will occur.
