What is the apex?

• A. Closest point to inside of a turn
• B. Apex
• C. Line
• D. Turn-in point

Answer: (A)

In turning, the apex is the point where your path comes closest to the inside edge of the curve. This is the spot you aim for so you can hold a steady, smooth line through the turn and position yourself well for exiting. That’s why the correct description is the closest point to the inside of the turn. It isn’t the line itself, nor the point where you begin turning, and it isn’t simply the term “apex” without a definition. The turn-in point is where you initiate the turn, which is different from the apex.
