Question 5748
What should you do if it starts raining heavily while riding a motorcycle?
- Ride close to heavy vehicles to shield yourself from the rain.
- Increase your speed to reach your destination sooner.
- Reduce your speed, and even stop if necessary.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Reduce your speed, and even stop if necessary.
If it starts raining heavily, your motorcycle has less grip and you need more distance to brake. You slow down and, if you cannot see well, stop off the roadway. Speeding up or following a heavy vehicle too closely takes away that safety margin.
