At speeds of 15 to 20 km/h, you should turn by
- using your feet.
- pushing left to turn right.
- pushing right to turn right. ✓
- doing none of the above.
Answer: C. pushing right to turn right.
At 15 to 20 km/h you turn by pushing right on the handlebar to turn right, the countersteering method.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says that once you are riding above 10 km/h the motorcycle feels steadier, and at those speeds it has to lean to turn. You create that lean by countersteering. Pushing on the left handlebar makes the bike lean left and go left; pushing on the right handlebar makes it lean right and go right. Since 15 to 20 km/h is above that 10 km/h point, countersteering is the technique that applies, which is why pushing right takes you right.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. using your feet. — Putting your feet down is not how the handbook describes turning at these speeds, where the bike turns by leaning through countersteering.
- B. pushing left to turn right. — Pushing left makes the motorcycle lean left and go left, so it takes you into a left turn, not a right one.
- D. doing none of the above. — One of the listed actions does describe the correct turn, since the handbook gives countersteering as the way to turn at these speeds.
Remember it
Think of it as leaning the bike with your hand: push the side you want to go toward.
