Which action helps reduce the risk of a motorcycle skid while braking?

Applying brakes gently
Applying brakes suddenly
Avoiding front brakes
Not using brakes at all

The correct answer is: Applying brakes gently

Applying brakes gently helps reduce the risk of a motorcycle skid while braking because sudden or harsh braking can lock up the wheels and cause the motorcycle to skid. By applying the brakes gently and progressively, you allow the tires to maintain traction with the road surface, which is essential for safe and effective braking. This technique also helps to maintain stability and control of the motorcycle during braking maneuvers. Avoiding sudden or hard braking is crucial for safe riding and reducing the risk of accidents.
