What should you do if you experience a front wheel skid when stopping quickly?

When you experience a front wheel skid while stopping quickly, easing off some of the brake pressure is the recommended action. This is because applying excessive brake force to the front wheel can cause it to lock up, leading to a loss of control. By reducing the pressure slightly, you allow the wheel to regain traction, which helps stabilize the motorcycle and helps you regain control.

In a skid, especially involving the front wheel, maintaining control becomes critical to avoid a crash. It is also important to remain calm and avoid abrupt maneuvers that could exacerbate the situation. The other options may seem plausible but could lead to additional instability or loss of control. For example, applying more pressure to the brakes could intensify the skid, while incorrectly steering into the skid without easing off the brakes could result in a crash.
