as passing from a grassy area to a paved area especially at high speed while
turning), and directional changes. High cornering speeds are not recommended. If
you feel that you may tip over in a corner, reduce your speed and steering angle
(i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your Travel Scooter from tipping .
