Motorcycle Riding: Avoiding Objects

Video Transcript

"Alright the next part we're going to talk about is called object avoidance. When we're running into a situation where a car locks up their brakes, and we don't have time to slow down. Or there's somebody gets in a car accident, somebody rear ends somebody, it could be a semi in your way, a deer running out in front of you, anything. We're going to practice making a quick split second decision, and steering around that particular object. What we have over here is a quad parked in the middle of the road. What we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and drive down the street, and at a last split second we're going to make a decision on turning around it, left or right. And you have to make that at the last second, we also what we're going to do a little bit later on, is we're going to have somebody else come out here and stand up here on the quad and tell us which way to turn at the last second. So once he tells us that's when we have to make our turn, but we can't turn before then."
