Correct answer
C. In the direction you intend to go.
Explanation
The question is about where you look when turning on a moped. You look in the direction you intend to go - answer C.
A two-wheeler goes where the rider looks: your eyes guide the movements of your arms and body, so looking at the exit of the bend helps you lean the moped smoothly and choose the right line. Thanks to this you also see earlier what is waiting beyond the bend - a pedestrian, a car or sand on the roadway. Looking at the surface just in front of the front wheel (answer A) makes you react too late and ride in a "zigzag", and in a bend you are easily carried to the outside of the bend. Looking at the speedometer (answer B) while turning takes your eyes off the road at the most demanding moment. Before you enter the bend, you read your speed and slow down, and in the bend itself you look ahead, where you want to be.
