What should you do to make basic turns?

Speed up, Lean, Shift, Brake
Slow down, Look around, Signal, Stop
Slow, Look, Press, Roll
Slalom, Accelerate, Downshift, Turn

The correct answer is: Slow, Look, Press, Roll

When making basic turns on a motorcycle, it's important to follow the acronym "SLPR," which stands for Slow, Look, Press, Roll. - **Slow:** You should reduce your speed before entering a turn to ensure better control and stability. - **Look:** Turn your head and look through the turn to where you want to go. This helps in maintaining balance and staying on the correct path. - **Press:** Once you have initiated the turn, press on the handgrip in the direction of the turn. This action helps to lean the motorcycle in the intended direction. - **Roll:** Finally, you smoothly roll on the throttle through the turn to maintain speed and stability. Options A, B, and D do not accurately describe the correct procedure for making basic turns and may lead to improper technique and safety risks.
