#1. What should a motorcyclist do if the throttle becomes stuck while driving?

The motorcyclist should put more force on the throttle to increase speed, apply the clutch and use the kill switch to turn the engine off.

The motorcyclist should ease off the throttle, apply the clutch, and use the kill switch to turn the engine off once the bike has slowed down.

None of the above is correct.

The motorcyclist should ease off the throttle, apply the clutch, wait for the bike to slow down and jump off when it is safe to do so. It is not safe to jump off a motorcycle when it is in motion. If the motorcycle is not equipped with a kill switch, pull in the clutch, maintain control of the bike until it comes to a stop, then switch off the engine. Braking can be used to help slow and stop the bike more quickly if it is safe to do so. x
