Question 5100
If, while riding a motorcycle, you have to cross an area with poor traction, you must do so...
- increasing your speed to get through it quickly.
- with the motorcycle kept upright, without accelerating or braking abruptly.
- braking to reduce the danger.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: with the motorcycle kept upright, without accelerating or braking abruptly.
Slow down before you reach water, gravel, mud, or ice, and ride through with the motorcycle upright, without sudden acceleration, braking, or steering. If the motorcycle is leaning and you make a sudden movement, the tire loses grip and you fall. Braking in the slippery area or riding through fast increases the risk.
