Practice question

Why do many Florida BRC instructors emphasize the rear-brake-only practice for very low-speed maneuvering (under about 10 mph)?

  1. The front brake is illegal at low speed
  2. Using a light rear brake with throttle in the friction zone keeps the bike stable and prevents the front-tire 'tuck' that a front-brake input can cause at very low speeds
  3. The rear brake costs less
  4. Florida law mandates rear-brake-only below 10 mph

Answer: B — Using a light rear brake with throttle in the friction zone keeps the bike stable and prevents the front-tire 'tuck' that a front-brake input can cause at very low speeds
