If your motorcycle starts to skid, what should you do?

When a motorcycle starts to skid, the best course of action is to ease off the throttle and steer in the direction you want to go. This is important because applying brake suddenly can destabilize the motorcycle further, potentially leading to a loss of control. Easing off the throttle allows you to reduce speed gradually, which can help regain traction. By steering in the direction you wish to travel, you encourage the bike to realign itself with the intended path, which can help you recover from the skid.

This approach emphasizes maintaining control over the motorcycle rather than prematurely reacting with abrupt actions that could worsen the situation.
