On a USVI coastal road, you encounter a band of sand blown across the lane. The best response is to:

1. Lean hard and accelerate through it
2. Slow before reaching it, keep the bike upright, ride a straight line across it, and avoid abrupt throttle, brake, or steering inputs
3. Brake hard at the sand to stop on the clean pavement
4. Stand on the pegs to lower your center of gravity
