Question 5332
If it is raining and you are riding a motorcycle, what should you keep in mind?
- That pavement markings can be very slippery.
- That you should ride with the low-beam headlights off.
- That reaction time decreases.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: That pavement markings can be very slippery.
When riding a motorcycle in rain, pavement markings are very slippery, like the crosswalk markings the motorcyclist in the image is riding over. If you cannot avoid them, ride over them slowly, with the motorcycle upright and without braking on them. Rain does not make you react sooner, and the motorcycle's low-beam headlights must be on during the day too.
