A dog rushes towards your motorcycle from the side. Your lane ahead is clear, and you can change speed safely within the speed limit. Which response does the Road Code recommend?
The recommended sequence is a slow approach in a lower gear followed by acceleration as you reach the dog. Do not kick at it or swerve into opposing traffic.

This is a dog approaching from the side, not an animal already blocking your path. Keep control, obey the speed limit and adapt to traffic and road conditions; do not treat acceleration as safe in every animal encounter.
