1. CORNERING – RIGHT-HAND BEND
2. Adopts left-hand lane position prior to entering corner.
3. Maintains speed and follows cornering line from left-hand lane position at entry to right-hand lane position at apex.
4. Accelerates gently from right-hand lane position at the apex back to left-hand lane position at the exit.

CORNERING – RIGHT HAND BEND

1. Adopts left-hand lane position prior to entering corner.
2. Maintains speed and follows cornering line from left-hand lane position at entry to right-hand lane position at apex.
3. Accelerates gently from right-hand lane position at the apex back to left-hand lane position at the exit.

CORNERING – LEFT HAND BEND

1. Adopts right-hand lane position prior to entering corner.
2. Maintains speed and follows cornering line from right-hand lane position at entry to left-hand lane position at apex.
3. Accelerates gently from left-hand lane position at the apex back to right-hand lane position at the exit.

CORNERING TECHNIQUE    

1. Identifies, interprets correctly and reacts to any advisory speed signs.
2. Assesses severity of corner by reference to the search limit point at entry.
3. Sets appropriate speed before entering corner.
4. Completes all deceleration, braking and any downshifting before entering the corner.
5. Maintains speed from the entry to the apex.
6. Accelerates gently from the apex to the exit.
7. Correct positions through out the corner (entry, apex, exit)
