What is the consequence of failing to release the front brake during a front-wheel skid?

When a rider fails to release the front brake during a front-wheel skid, the motorcycle can become unstable. This happens because the front wheel is locked up, preventing it from turning. In such a situation, steering control is lost. The rider may find it impossible to steer the motorcycle and effectively maneuver around obstacles, which can lead to a crash. Additionally, the locked front wheel can cause a loss of balance, increasing the likelihood of falling over. Understanding the dynamics of braking and the importance of maintaining control over the motorcycle is crucial for safe riding practices.
