Which of the following is an important safety tip when braking?

  1. Apply both front and rear brakes

  2. Do not use front brakes

  3. Use brakes sparingly

  4. Only use rear brakes

The correct answer is: Apply both front and rear brakes

When braking, it is important to use both the front and rear brakes together to provide equal stopping power to the two wheels and prevent either one from locking up. Option B is incorrect because solely using the front brakes can lead to the front wheel locking up and causing loss of control. Option C is also incorrect because while it is important to not overuse the brakes, using them sparingly can also lead to a loss of control. Option D is incorrect as solely using the rear brakes can cause the rear wheel to lock up, resulting in loss of balance and potential injury.
