What could happen if you pass through a bend close to the lane markings?

When navigating bends close to the lane markings, it's important to understand the potential dangers.

1. Being struck by oncoming traffic: If you're too close to the edge of your lane, you may encroach upon the lane of oncoming vehicles, increasing the risk of a collision.

2. Losing control of your motorbike: Attempting to veer away from an oncoming vehicle can lead to loss of control, particularly in a bend where visibility is limited.

Both points highlight the critical nature of maintaining a safe distance from lane markings and understanding the limits of your visibility when navigating through bends. German traffic laws emphasize safe driving practices to prevent accidents, underscoring the need to consider all potential hazards when cornering. It’s essential to be aware of your surroundings and choose a driving path that maximizes safety.
