Question 4735

When riding a motorcycle on a wet road, how should you take a curve?

  1. With a wider turning angle than on a dry road and leaning more.
  2. By trying not to lean the motorcycle too much and, if possible, widening the turning angle.
  3. With a tighter turning angle than on a dry road, leaning less.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: By trying not to lean the motorcycle too much and, if possible, widening the turning angle.

On a wet surface, the wheels have less grip, and the motorcycle can easily skid when leaning. Approach the curve more slowly and do not lean the motorcycle more than necessary. If the road and traffic allow it, take a wider path without leaving your lane, because a wider curve requires less lean.
