So far, you have only driven solo motorcycles. You now change over to a combination (sidecar on the right, unbraked). What is different?

When transitioning from solo motorcycles to a combination with a sidecar, there are specific considerations regarding handling and stability.

Firstly, when braking, the combination tends to pull to the left. This is crucial because the weight distribution changes when you add a sidecar, affecting the bike's behavior during braking.

Secondly, during right-hand turns, the sidecar may lift off the ground. This can compromise stability and control, increasing the risk of tipping the motorcycle, especially if the turn is taken too sharply.

Both of these points are essential for safe operation of a combination vehicle, as they highlight the differences in handling compared to riding solo motorcycles. Understanding these principles is vital for maintaining safety on the road according to German traffic regulations. The third option you didn't choose, about not driving with dipped headlights during daytime, is less relevant to the handling of combinations but is an important traffic rule regarding visibility.
