Can you hold in the clutch while making a slow turn on a motorcycle?
You could, however it is the throttle control that makes the turn work.
You need to look ahead and plan your turn, then get on the brakes to slow your speed. You should allready have found an apex and looking at your exit. A SLOW hand on the throttle makes a faster safer rider.
Remember that centrifugal force helps keep the bike UP. Having the clutch in means there is decreasing centrifugal force and the bike wants to fall.

Why does your car steam up when its raining?
The rain does two things. First, it increases the moisture content of the air, and second, it cools the windows. Cold air cannot retain as much moisture as warm air, so when the warm, mosit air comes into contact with the windows on your car, it cools and deposits moisture on the windscreen. If you have air conditioning in your car, turn this on as it removes moisture from the air it blows in, so your car cannot steam up. Another technique I have heard of, but not tried myself, is to rub in a small amount of shampoo onto the inside of your windscreen. I don't know how it works but may be worth a try.
How do you reduce the number of car accidents?
One answer:
There are many ways to avoid car accident one of the important things to consider is take yourself away from destruction such as cell phones, then buckle your seatbelt, stay awake while driving and drive with speed limit.
Another answer:
The first and the foremost step to reduce the number of accidents is to have proper training in the techniques of driving. This should be preferably done in an authorised training school. They will, according to the country of residence, give vital tips on the rules of the road, road sense, anger management, etc.
Secondly, never, i repeat, NEVER, treat the road as your own, which means respect every user who uses it, including drivers and pedestrians.
Thirdly, buy a good vehicle. Not necessarily a new car, second or even third hand cars, in good condition is enough. Heavily modified, raced, tampered cars are a strict no-no. Check for problems, use the help of a mechanic, if you're not sure of your own auto-mobile engineering skills(For second and older cars).
Fourthly, check your vehicle for potential problems at least before every alternate journey(preferably before EVERY journey) and rectify them at the earliest. Its better to be shocked to realise something was wrong while you were in the garage, rather than realising the same while you were driving!
Fifth, service your vehicle as recommended by the manufacturer, everything needs a visit to a doctor regularly! The older the vehicle gets, the more care it needs, and if it gets gets that, it works really fine.
Keep yourself fit, physically and mentally. Never drive if you are drowsy/drunken/tired. Try be calm while driving, if that's not possible, take a cab or the bus.
Enjoy driving, go for a short trip in the weekend, improves driving skills.
These are some of the things that can reduce accidents.

It is best to call Nissan and ask them the recommendations before using any other automotive brand. If not, you could cause significant damage to your call that could have been prevented.
Not necessarily. In California your tires shouldn't be more than 18 inches from the curb or you could get a ticket. You can park as crooked as you want as long as both of your tires aren't more than 18 inches from the curb or edge of the road.
