What does the instruction 'Look where you want to go' mean for motorcyclists?

• A. Look at the front wheel to help stabilize.
• B. Keep your eyes on the direction you intend to go to maintain balance and steering control.
• C. Look away to anticipate hazards.
• D. Look in the rearview mirror only.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that your vision drives your motorcycle’s steering and balance. Look where you want to go, not at the wheel or at hazards you’re trying to avoid. When you fix your gaze on your intended path—through the turn or toward the exit—you naturally steer and lean in that direction, maintaining a smooth line and better control. This forward-looking gaze also helps you anticipate and react to anything on the road in time. Looking at the front wheel can pull your attention and balance toward it, and looking away or only in the rearview mirror provides no guidance for your forward path, so neither helps you stay on course.
