If you need to brake and swerve, you:

Brake before swerving
Swerve before braking
Brake after swerving
Brake while swerving

The correct answer is: Brake after swerving

When you need to brake and swerve simultaneously while operating a motorcycle, the ideal sequence is to swerve first and then brake after swerving. This order is crucial because if you brake before swerving, you are more likely to lose traction and control of the motorcycle, leading to a potential skid or a fall. By swerving first to avoid the obstacle and then applying the brakes after the swerve, you maintain better control over the motorcycle and increase your chances of successfully navigating around the hazard. Therefore, option A is not the safest approach in this scenario. Similarly, braking while swerving (option D) can also result in loss of control and decrease your ability to maneuver safely. Swerving before braking allows you to evade the obstacle efficiently and then slow down to a safe speed, making option C the correct choice in this situation.
