A three-wheeled vehicle is naturally more stable than a two-wheeler but can still tip over or lift a wheel under some conditions, so body position, speed and loading matter. p. 64
Approach turns and curves on a three-wheeler with caution: entering a turn too fast can carry you into another lane, lift a wheel or take you off the road, and oversteering can make it skid and lose control. p. 64
Park a three-wheeled vehicle parallel to the curb and set the parking brake or leave it in gear so it can't roll; parking parallel also makes it easier to pull away from the curb into traffic. p. 65
When cornering a three-wheeler, stay within your lane, adjust speed before the curve and lean or shift your weight toward the turn so no wheel leaves the ground. p. 65–66
Check whether your sidecar has brakes: without them your stopping distance and handling change, and you may need to steer slightly toward the sidecar when braking. When accelerating, steer slightly away from the sidecar to keep a straight path. p. 66
On a sidecar rig, judge how sharp the turn is, adjust speed before it, lean or shift your weight toward it, hold speed as you enter and accelerate gradually out. p. 66
