As well as operating the brakes, you should also make sure that your brake levers...?

• A. Turn on high beam
• B. Operate the braking light
• C. Release the grip
• D. Operate the brakes

Answer: (B)

When you brake, you must also signal with the brake light. The brake levers on a motorcycle trigger a switch that turns on the brake light as you pull the lever, so drivers behind you know you’re slowing down or stopping. This visual cue reduces the risk of rear-end collisions, especially in traffic or low visibility. The other options don’t fit because a high beam isn’t used to signal braking, releasing the grip doesn’t convey braking, and just applying the brakes without activating the light doesn’t warn following riders.
