Explanation

When making a tight turn at low speed on a motorcycle, it is essential not to brake with the front brake, because this can lock the wheel and cause a fall. According to the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), motorcyclists must be especially careful in these manoeuvres because motorcycles are naturally unstable and control of the vehicle is very important in critical situations.
