Question 5412
Riding a motorcycle in heavy rain requires you to...
- moderate your speed, even stopping if necessary.
- ride as close as possible to the vehicle ahead in order to have greater protection and visibility.
- turn on your high beams even when riding in a built-up area.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: moderate your speed, even stopping if necessary.
In heavy rain, your motorcycle has less grip, your visor gets wet, and others have more trouble seeing you. You ride at a moderate speed, and if you cannot continue safely, you stop off the roadway until the rain lets up. Following the car ahead too closely leaves you without enough room to brake on a wet surface.
