What should you do when riding over an object?

When riding over an object, maintaining a straight course is crucial for several reasons. Keeping a straight line allows you to maintain control of the motorcycle. When you lean into an object, it can throw off your balance and increase the risk of losing control or crashing. Similarly, avoiding the object too aggressively can lead to an unsafe maneuver, such as swerving into another lane or off the road.

By keeping a straight course, you minimize the chances of encountering instability. This approach enables you to roll over the object smoothly, especially if it's a minor hazard like a small bump or a piece of debris. Adjusting your speed appropriately before reaching the object can also enhance safety while providing the necessary stability to navigate over it effectively.
