Learning when it is better to swerve or brake a motorcycle in an emergency situation is very important. Many accidents are caused by a motorcyclist trying to brake when they needed to swerve to avoid an obstacle.

There will be times when stopping a motorcycle in time to avoid an obstacle simply can not be done. So learning how to swerve around obstacles is a must for all motorcycle riders.

FYI - It is important NOT to brake while you are swerving. Braking should only be done before or after the swerve.
