Question 5651
On a cold, rainy day, you are riding your motorcycle. In these circumstances...
- riding will be more comfortable and safer if the motorcycle has a fairing.
- you should take some kind of stimulant or alcoholic drink to fight the cold.
- when braking, the stopping distance is always shorter, especially if the motorcycle has drum brakes.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: riding will be more comfortable and safer if the motorcycle has a fairing.
The fairing, the outer shell at the front of many motorcycles, deflects air and protects you from wind, cold, and rain. It makes riding more comfortable and safer on a cold, rainy day. Alcohol only gives you a false feeling of warmth. In the rain, you also need more meters to stop.
