WARNING
Inexperienced riders tend to underuti-
lize the front brake. This can cause
excessive stopping distance and lead to
a collision. Using only the front or rear
brake can cause skidding and loss of
control.
Apply both brakes evenly and at the
same time.
WARNING
Hard braking while turning may cause
wheel skid and loss of control.
Brake before you begin to turn.
WARNING
Hard braking on wet, loose, rough, or
other slippery surfaces can cause wheel
skid and loss of control.
Brake lightly and with care on slippery or
irregular surfaces.
WARNING
Following another vehicle too closely
can lead to a collision. As vehicle
speeds increase, stopping distance
increases progressively.
Be sure you have a safe stopping dis-
tance between you and the vehicle in
front of you.
