Speed up, Lean, Shift, Brake

Slow down, Look around, Signal, Stop

Slow, Look, Press, Roll

When making basic turns on a motorcycle, it's important to follow the acronym "SLPR," which stands for Slow, Look, Press, Roll.

- **Slow:** You should reduce your speed before entering a turn to ensure better control and stability.

- **Look:** Turn your head and look through the turn to where you want to go. This helps in maintaining balance and staying on the correct path.

- **Press:** Once you have initiated the turn, press on the handgrip in the direction of the turn. This action helps to lean the motorcycle in the intended direction.

- **Roll:** Finally, you smoothly roll on the throttle through the turn to maintain speed and stability.

Options A, B, and D do not accurately describe the correct procedure for making basic turns and may lead to improper technique and safety risks.
