Not quite. The answer is make a quick, sharp turn, as shown in image B.

For track and road seams that run parallel to your course, move far enough away from tracks, ruts, or pavement seams to cross at an angle of at least 45 degrees. Then, make a quick, sharp turn, as shown in image B. Edging across could catch your tires and throw you off balance.
