Question 7647
If it is raining and the roadway is wet, at crosswalks motorcycle riders should...
- ride over the painted area, because it has better grip.
- increase their speed to ride more safely.
- avoid riding over the painted area, because it can be very slippery.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: avoid riding over the painted area, because it can be very slippery.
When wet, road paint is much more slippery than asphalt. In the rain, try to avoid riding over the white crosswalk stripes, especially while braking or leaning. If you cannot avoid them, ride over them with the motorcycle upright, without braking or accelerating. In the image, the scooter is approaching a crosswalk on a wet surface.
