Entering a turn or curve too fast on a three-wheeled motorcycle may cause the vehicle to ...

• A. Cross into another lane of traffic
• B. Stay in its lane
• C. Speed up safely
• D. Automatic stabilization

Answer: (A)

Entering a turn too fast on a three-wheeled motorcycle reduces your margin for error because these machines don’t lean the way two-wheelers do to counter centrifugal force. When you push the speed in a bend, the outward push can overwhelm the grip of the tires, causing the bike to drift outward and cross into the adjacent lane. The risk isn’t helped by trying to speed up or rely on any automatic stabilization, which isn’t a guaranteed feature on most trikes. The safe approach is to slow down before entering curves and maintain a steady, controlled line through the turn.
