This lesson focuses on the physical skill of an emergency stop, building on previous braking lessons. You will learn to adopt a braced body position, keeping your arms straight and looking ahead, not down. The content details the technique of applying both brakes rapidly but progressively to the point of maximum traction, and how to trust and utilize ABS if your motorcycle is equipped with it.
Prepare to pass your Dutch Category A2 motorcycle theory exam with this comprehensive course. It provides in-depth knowledge of all CBR required topics, from traffic signs and right-of-way rules to advanced techniques for speed management, cornering, and riding on the autosnelweg. You will learn the specific legal obligations and safety considerations for operating a 35 kW motorcycle, ensuring you have the theoretical foundation to ride safely and confidently on Dutch roads.
The Maximum Performance Emergency Braking lesson explains one of the most important subjects in the Emergency Evasive Manoeuvres and Hazard Anticipation unit of the Dutch Motorcycle Theory (A2) curriculum. It focuses on essential exam content that every learner in the Netherlands needs for the Dutch driving theory exam. Through clear explanations, practical examples, and real traffic situations, this lesson helps you understand how the rules work in practice and strengthens your overall exam preparation.
Upon completing this lesson, you will possess the theoretical knowledge required to execute a maximum performance emergency brake on your A2 motorcycle. This includes understanding the correct rider body positioning—arms straight, looking ahead—to maximise stability and control. You will be able to explain the technique of applying both brakes simultaneously and with progressive force to reach the limit of traction without skidding.
Furthermore, you will grasp how Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS) function during such an event and how to rely on them for safer deceleration. This theoretical understanding is crucial for both passing your Dutch theory exam, which often includes questions on hazard avoidance and emergency procedures, and for developing the confidence to react effectively in real-world riding scenarios where sudden stops are necessary.
This lesson is ideal for A2 motorcycle license candidates who want to solidify their understanding of emergency braking techniques. It is particularly useful for those who feel uncertain about their ability to stop quickly and safely in a critical situation, and for anyone looking to gain confidence for the Dutch theory exam.
